The second last individual Jones before we continue with multiple Jones and who better to feature than a knight of the realm. Steady ladies - it is the one and only Sir Tom Jones
From 1999 on the Gut label the album Reload has somehow found its way onto the shelves. It is the one where he does duets with various artists . Just be grateful that I haven't decided to include Simply Red, Robbie Williams or the Stereophonics. There are some depths to which even I will not stoop.Remarkably it was the highest selling album of his long and illustrious career.
The first two sons below are taken from this album with the third song Evil, a Howling Wolf song, being a collaboration with Jack White from 2012 as part of a Blues Series on Third Man Records
I thought that I had a copy of his version of Delilah but no. The only versions I have are by Jon Langford & Sally Timms with the Pine Valley Cosmonauts and by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. That's a post for another day.

Tom Jones (ft Cerys Matthews) - Baby It's Cold Outside

What, no "Young New Mexican Puppeteer?"
ReplyDeleteI feel that I've let you down ...again!
ReplyDeleteOne more solo Jones, are you then following up with bands who have a Jones?
ReplyDeleteNope - artists from the hard drive named Jones as opposed to those I have physical stuff by
DeleteFingers crossed its Louis Jones...
DeleteMy daughter who is nine, saw a TV programme featuring Sir Tom the other day and she genuinely thought that he was an elderly oompa loompa. Much love, swc.
ReplyDeleteI will never look at him in the same light again!
DeleteGot to give him credit (or maybe his manager son) but his reinventions over the years certainly worked well for him.
ReplyDeleteLove that about the Oompa Loompa.
