Tom Jones’s 2008 album 24 Hours was a mixed bag, with cheery efforts to recapture his swinging mojo (If He Should Ever Leave You) and a song from Bono and the Edge (Sugar Daddy). But best of all was this sombre, southern soul rereading of a Bruce Springsteen ballad about a veteran fighter. The metaphor is obvious, but the song is undeniable.
A B-side that has become a collectible Northern Soul classic, Hide and Seek is all thrusting brass, twanging guitar and Jones sounding like he’s having fun. It’s a shade over two minutes that’s absolutely irresistible – not an overpowering performance, but a record that’s perfectly constructed to deliver a shot of adrenaline.
Everyone has had a bash at rehabilitating Tom Jones this century and Jools Holland’s was one of the best. Their joint album steered Jones back towards R&B without any modern affectations. This version of the Larry Williams stomper is a thrill.
Praise & Blame was the first of three albums produced by Ethan Johns that took Jones out of Vegas and insisted he be treated as an artist. Bob Dylan’s What Good Am I? was the statement track, but this version of John Lee Hooker’s Burning Hell was more remarkable, casting Jones the Voice as the White Stripes of the valleys.
Lo and behold, Jack White duly took an interest, and Jones recorded a single for Third Man with White producing. The A-side was Howlin’ Wolf’s Evil, but the B-side, a spare and haunted take on the betrayal ballad, was the keeper. Fantastic.
The 70s and 80s were not, by and large, golden eras for Jones the recording artist – too much bad MOR country – but there were occasional gems. This Dr John cover concludes one of the worst Jones albums and – all sweaty and funky – appears to have been flown in from another record.
Any Jones album recorded in the first decade of his career with the word “live” is worth hearing. The bands were routinely fantastic and Jones was in his element, much tougher than he was in the studio. Here he takes on Otis Redding and earns respect.
Quite why a Welshman was so convinced he could handle Americana will remain a mystery, but Jones – somehow, because goodness knows his accent wasn’t suited to the spoken word section – pulled it off. Jones had first heard this on Jerry Lee Lewis’s 1965 LP Country Songs for City Folks, which proved to be hugely influential on him.
There wasn’t much hint from its title that the album Tom Jones Sings She’s a Lady would contain something quite so fabulously frantic as this cover of Ashton, Gardner and Dyke’s hit from a few months earlier. It got a single release as the B-side to Puppet Man, making it the only Tom Jones record of any length that is 100% perfect across both sides...
Once again, a standout on a second-rate album. The title is misleading: this isn’t Jones satisfying the needs of a hot mama. “Lusty lady, she just died,” the song opens, and Jones unspools Johnny Bristol’s story of a hard-luck life over four minutes of sinuous funk.
