Reload - Tom Jones

Nudity, you say – no, just some Barenaked Ladies. Just one of the many groups that accompany Tom Jones in this great album. Tom has been Reloaded with great talent from his younger years. This album has boosted his reputation as a great singer and a sex symbol. Many of you may think that Tom Jones has gone from strength to weakness, but he has certainly not. This album proves that, even at the age of 60 (I think!), his singing skills have gone from strength to strength. All the songs on this album are in collaboration with other artists. Here is a brief description of each song on Reload: The first song featured is “Burning down the ...  Read the complete review

Tom Jones is and always has been a great artist, his style is easily recognisable and music lovers old or young should have at least one album by Tom and in this he is certainly on form. However nothing is perfect and this is especially true of this album, with only three or four really good song’s Tom Jones does not allow the artists that appear alongside him on the album to have enough of an input into the music, from the amazing voice of Carrys from catatonia not being used to the best of it’s ability to Robbie Williams not really joining in entusiasticaly at all some of the younger music lovers may not like this. Music however, it has to be said, ...  Read the complete review

Tom Jones is undeniably my favourite artist of all time; I've been a fan since I was quite young. I prefer his old songs especially Its Not Unusual, Daughter of Darkness and What's new Pussycat. I heard he had brought out a new album called reload, I've been deliberating for weeks as to whether or not I should buy it, I eventually took the plunge and bought it last week. I must say I was extremely surprised, it has some fantastic tracks. All the tracks are done with another artist such as Heather Small from M people, The Cardigans and Robbie Williams. Most of the tracks have a rock feel to them; my favourite tracks have to be Sex ...  Read the complete review

This is a fantastic album, Tom has never lost his appeal or that superb voice. I love the old stuff (who doesn't sing along with 'Delilah' or 'Green, green grass of home') and the new stuff, and I'm glad he hasn't been tempted by cheesy dance mixes as other 'older' artists have been (eg. Cher, with awful results!). There are some brilliant covers on this album, for the duets he has made perfect partner choices. One of my favourites is Never Tear us Apart with Natalie Imbruglia, a brilliant cover of a brilliant song. And there is a mixture of influences and genres, rock, pop, ballad. Keep it up Tom. And my being Welsh ...  Read the complete review

TOM JONES This is an album for doing the housework to, if you do any at all. Really zingy and alive and lots of variety. Tom baby sings with loads of artists and proves again that age means nothing and that this music is up with the best of pop. Zucchero is one of my favourite artists and She Drives Me Crazy is a great track. Simply Red is on it and of course Van the Man Morrison features to. This man Tom Jones is unbelievable live (I have seen him) and he can still strut across the stage with the best of the young ones. Maybe better. Play it again Tom and swivel those hips. ...  Read the complete review
