Tom Jones has unveiled the first track from his forthcoming new album 'Spirit In The Room', the follow-up to 2010’s acclaimed collection of songs that was ‘Praise and Blame’.
The first track from the album to be posted online, Tom's raging interpretation of Tom Waits' ‘Bad As Me’, can be heard below.
‘Spirit In The Room’ will be released on 21st May 2012 through Island Records and once again brings together Ethan Johns (Brit Award Producer of the Year 2011) and Tom for intimate performances with a very considered and select group of musicians — multi instrumentalist Johns, Richard Causon on vintage keyboards, piano, guitars (Ryan Adams, Kings Of Leon and Rufus Wainwright), Warpaint’s Stella Mozgawa on drums, and Ian Jennings and Sam Dixon on bass.
Recorded at Bath’s Real World studios, ‘Spirit In The Room’, like it’s predecessor, allows Tom Jones to bring a voice to songs as only he can. The album includes gems from a diverse choice of writers - Richard Thompson, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon and Paul McCartney amongst others.
‘Spirit In The Room’ track-listing is as follows:
1. Tower Of Song (L. Cohen)
2. (I Want To) Come Home (P.McCartney)
3. Hit Or Miss (Odetta)
4. Love And Blessings (P. Simon)
5. Soul Of A Man (Blind Willie Johnson)
6. Bad As Me (T.Waits)
7. Dimming Of The Day (R.Thompson)
8. Travelling Shoes (V. Hall Ward)
9. All Blues Hail Mary (J. Henry)
10. Charlie Darwin (Low Anthem)
A Deluxe Edition of the album will contain the additional recordings ‘Just Dropped in’, ‘Lone Pilgrim’ and ‘When The Deal Goes Down’.
