November 17th, 2008 | By TomJones
For his first solo album of new material in 15 years, Sir Tom Jones has turned his hand to songwriting for the first time.

Bono has also contributed a song, while Sir Tom has teamed up with producers Future Cut, whose past credits include Lily Allen, Dizzee Rascal and Kate Nash.

The Scotsman Review
June 28th, 2008 | By TomJones
THANKS to the commercial and especially creative success of Johnny Cash’s final recording sessions with Rick Rubin, veteran artists no longer need be confined to trotting out all the 30 or 40-year-old hits or releasing insipid covers of “standards” in the twilight of their careers.
