Tom Jones: Spirit in the Room

Tom Jones - Tower Of Song
I really wanted to hate this album, or at least feel indifferent enough to ignore it. I tried, really I did. I didn't even listen to the unrequested advance promo I received. When a second promo arrived from Jones' record ... Continue reading ’

Thirteen Obscure Cameos by Musicians in Film and TV

Micheal Jackson on the simpsons
There's no mistaking Davy Jones for Robert DeNiro or Steven Tyler for Marlon Brando. But film history is littered with cameo appearances that prove you don't have to be Lawrence Olivier to steal a scene. From George Clinton crashing frat parties in PCU to stage diving with the Mighty Mighty Bosstones in Clueless , many memorable celluloid moments have been made by bands stepping out from behind their instruments and on to the silver screen. But what about those not-so-obvious cameos? With both Kanye West and Drake set to appear in [...]

Video: “One Night With You” (Elvis Presley Cover) live by Tom Jones

"One Night With You" (Elvis Cover) by Tom Jones on 5.18.13
HD Video by G. Remember that time that the legendary Tom Jones performed not in a massive theatre but inside the 500 person maximum venue Bowery Ballroom?  I was there to capture all the action including this show highlight, a cover of Elvis Presley's "One Night With You."  Sir Tom talks a little bit about Elvis before the song starts so hear what he has to say by pressing play!

Attention: Brian May out of We Will Rock You musical has something to share

Brian May has decided that Tom Jones is lowering himself . In a post which manages to be both short and rambling, May kicks The Voice about a bit because, er, apparently listening to somebody's performance "isn't what music is about": It brings singing down to the level of a stupid obstacle course on 'It's A Knockout'. This is not – NOT – what music is about. When we sing, or play, for real, we are NOT screaming at the top of our lungs trying to persuade someone to notice us. Yes, [...]

Tom Jones played Bowery Ballroom (pics, setlist)

Tom Jones played Bowery Ballroom (pics, setlist) photos by PSquared Photography Tom Jones @ Bowery Ballroom, 5/18/2013 Jones's voice is so gigantic that it can seem like a put-on, and he's always known it; part of his charm is the way he'll play it up, often with a hoarse cackle at the end of a line, or between songs. But this is a good time for adult-leaning vocal interpreters from the rock generation, especially with atmospheric backing - see Robert Plant and Alison Krauss's Raising Sand , for [...]

10 Observations From Tom Jones Live at Bowery Ballroom Photos by G. Tom Jones The legendary Tom Jones dropped by legendary New York venue Bowery Ballroom on May 18, 2013 to showcase his latest album "Spirit In The Room."  Here are 10 observations from the show. 1.

Tom Jones – Spirit In the Room

Tom Jones – Spirit In the Room I was never a Tom Jones fan, other than when I feel cheesy and want to hear the hits – What’s New Pussycat (WHOA, WHOA WHOA, WHOA WHOAAAA!!!), Green Green Grass of Home, She’s a Lady, It’s Not Unusual (Carlton dance!), etc. BUT THIS…. THIS IS NOT THE TOM JONES YOU KNOW!! This is Tom’s 40th studio album! The second with producer Ethan Johns. This album is very much like the previous one with Johns – Praise & Blame (2010). Where P&B was made up of mostly little known devotional and gospel covers, and critically acclaimed, [...]

Tom Jones: Spirit in the Room

Tom Jones - Tower Of Song
The Welsh wizard swings his Thunderballs to score his second strike in a row. It's crazy to comprehend the Tolkien-esque journey that Thomas Woodward first embarked upon nearly half a century ago. Since leaving his sleepy mining community in South Wales, Woodward, under his adopted superhero alias "TOM JONES", has literally done and seen it all. Many times over. A working class lad who survived TB before venturing Dick Whittington-fashion in search of derring-do, Jones has now scored hits crossing six decades with UK number ones as far back...

Tom Jones Ups the Emotional Ante in His New Album

Los Angeles Times (MCT) -- LOS ANGELES - Tom Jones sits in a cozy booth along one wall of a favorite Beverly Hills restaurant. At 72, his curly hair and neatly manicured mustache and goatee are more salt than pepper after his decision to give up black hair dye a few years ago. But Jones appears dapper as usual, ultra-tan and fit in his smart black suit and dark, ribbed crew-neck shirt. The era-spanning entertainer is here to talk about...

Out This Week 4/23

Out This Week 4/23 We hope you had a successful and fruitful Record Store Day this past Saturday and that you've added many cherished discs to your vinyl collection.
