AllMusic

Green, Green Grass of Home is a 1967 album released by Tom Jones. His sixth overall album, it is his fourth studio album with Decca Records, produced by Peter Sullivan.

London Records (Parrot label) (USA, Canada) released an abridged version of this album as Funny Familiar Forgotten Feelings (Parrot 71011), whilst that label's album titled Green, Green Grass of Home was largely made up of tracks from From the Heart.

Reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic notes with this album Jones "began to abandon his teenage pop audience to concentrate on a more mature, middle of the road group of listeners" but says the album is "inconsistent".
