About Tom Jones:

Singer Tom Jones' 50-year career has gone from strength to strength. Along with sustaining his popularity as a live performer and recording artist, he has garnered - at the age of 77 - the best reviews of his career for his most recent albums, Long Lost Suitcase, Spirit In The Room and Praise & Blame.

Although he is known for hits like "It's Not Unusual," "Kiss," "Delilah" and "What's New Pussycat," Tom Jones is first and foremost an artist with a true rhythm and blues soul. He has remained a vital recording artist, with his 1999 album Reload - the biggest selling of his then 35-year career.

In 2010, Jones switched things up with his 39th studio album, Praise & Blame. His mantra was "get back to basics," and the album was recorded as wholly live performances at Peter Gabriel's studio in Bath, England, produced by Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Ryan Adams, Ray Lamontagne, Laura Marling, Paolo Nutini). The result witnessed a singer at the top of his game, with the songs themselves coaxing exhilarating performances out of Tom and his band.

Since then Tom Jones has continued to create new music, while also basking in his earlier hits.
