What’s new pussycat? Tom Jones’ new CD!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! I became a fan of Tom Jones during grad school, and I annoy the crap out of my mom playing or singing it whenever I can. what’s wrong with a little She’s a Lady in the middle of the day?
Anywaaaaaaaaays, the CD with be Tom’s first in the US in 15 years! Holy cow! His last CD released was in 2000 but it was not released in the US. SEX BOMB was on that CD, and I suggest you go to I Tunes and download it. DO IT NOW
THe new CD, 24 HOURS , will be out November 25th, with some interesting help. Bono and The Edge from U2 helped him with some of the songs on the new album. Mr. Jones wanted to go for a retro sound ala Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black.
“The fire is still in me,” Jones told The Associated Press in a recent interview, speaking by phone from his home in Los Angeles. “Not to be an oldie, but a goodie. I want to be a contender.”
“We’ve been thinking about this for a while, doing a retro sound but new,” said Jones. “And Amy Winehouse, she cracked it. When that album came out, my son called me right away and said, `You know what we’ve been talking about? Listen to this.’”
