Hello, Dear Friend.
Come in, sit down.
I have to tell you, if you're interested - and I can tell that you are - that on Sunday last, whilst shopping in Ilford, we picked up a copy of Tom Jones's new album, Praise and Blame. I know, remarkable, isn't it?
Sir Tom has always had a marvellous voice and it shows no signs of diminishing now he's hit 70, but frankly, in his younger days, some of his material was well... You know. I mean, "What's New Pussycat?" what's that all about? Nonetheless, the old boy carved a niche for himself and kept going. In 1999 he suddenly discovered or maybe reiscovered a large degree of credibility when he released Reload, in which he duetted with many of the top contemporary acts of the late 1990s.
Anyway, Praise & Blame is excellent and thoroughly recommended. Somewhere between the Blues, Country and with a dash of Gospel smattered over for good measure. You should hear his cover of Hooker's Burning Hell. Oh yes.
