Tom Jones - Praise and Blame
Released: 26/07/2010
Island
As unlikely as it might sound, the bombastic Welsh crooner has undergone the same kind of reinvention that Johnny Cash went through in the 90s. Except the 70-year-old's hip-thrusting style was hardly asking for the deep and meaningful treatment. Whatever the case, he can't half belt them out.

.
MusicOMH“Praise & Blame is unexpectedly both exhilarating and touching...” For a man who's tackled many different styles in his career, this new direction shouldn't come as a surprise, but it somehow does. If you've never even considered owning a Tom Jones record before, give it a try. It may well surprise you...
