The legendary singer Sir Tom Jones releases a new album of evocative cover songs entitled 'Spirit in the Room' on sale from May 21st with Island Records (Nicki Minaj, Amy Winehouse, Nine Inch Nails, Stevie Wonder, Queen).
Following the universal success of his 2010 album 'Praise and Blame' which included covers of artists such as Bob Dylan, Jessie Mae Hemphill and Billy Joe Shaver, 'Spirit in the Room' presents a warm collection of already poignantly enchanting masterpieces injected with the deep soul and musical passion of Tom Jones. The diverse selection of songs covered include Sir Paul McCartney's (I Want To) Come Home, the late Odetta's Hit and Miss, Paul Simon's Love and Blessings and Tower of Song originally by the highly influential Leonard Cohen.
Tom is currently a judge and mentor on the UK talent show The Voice. He has also recently produced a single on ex-White Stripes frontman Jack White's Third Man record label featuring an intense rendition of Howlin' Wolf's 'Evil'. The Deluxe Edition of 'Spirit in the Room' will include Mickey Newbury's 'Just Dropped In', Bob Dylan's 'When the Deal Goes Down' and 'Lone Pilgrim'.
