Tom jones spirit in the room review.
Tchotchke november 14 2016 report.
Spirit in the room is done in a style similar to tom jones previous release praise blame.
Tom jones spirit in the room is a beautiful album of great songs performed with taste and sung with tender resonance writes neil mccormick.
Spirit in the room is the 40th studio album by welsh musician tom jones released 21 may 2012 it was produced by ethan johns.
Sir tom jones has been in showbiz for almost 50 years again it s produced by kings of leon laura marling producer ethan johns who also plays guitar on every track.
The songs have fairly unadorned arrangements which puts the emphasis on jones voice.
Check out spirit in the room by tom jones on amazon music.
While it s not quite as good as that album it s still very good in it s own right.
Spirit in the room.
Spirit in the room is the natural heir to praise blame but focuses on more modern songs including covers of leonard cohen paul mccartney and tom waits.
Although it isn t the revelation or surprising extraordinary achievement that his 2010 record praise blame was spirit in the room is another solid very welcome set of stripped back interpretations from tom jones produced once again by ethan johns making those comparisons to johnny cash s late period recordings with rick rubin all the more fitting.
The album is composed entirely of covers largely of folk songs performed in jones soul style.
Like its successful predecessor 2010 s god fearing praise blame spirit in the room.
