Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Long qualified for a state pension and generally recognised as a national treasure, Tom Jones is in no need of an unnecessary makeover, which is probably why 24 Hours turns out to be such a relaxed collection. Relaxed is a relative term for the Welsh veteran--Jones still bellows like a man trying to make himself heard over a rowdy crowd. But the best moments on 24 Hours, such as a terrifyingly spirited take of "I’m Alive", originally performed by Tommy James and the Shondells, and first single "If He Should Ever Leave You", a rather knowing if undeniably catchy pastiche of the supper club soul that made his name, could only be the work of one man. The stark title track enters Nick Cave territory while "The Road", a heartfelt if somewhat overdue apology to Jones’s loyally obscure wife Linda, will either repel or seduce. The louche "Sugar Daddy", penned by U2 no less, rather exalts Jones’s reputation as an ageing lothario, even as he seems determined to shake it off. The odd clunker aside (notably the rather naff "In Style and Rhythm") 24 Hours, produced by Future Cut, a team of studio bods half his age, is an enjoyably effective collection, filling a previously unnoticed niche between Duffy and Solomon Burke. --Steve Jelbert


CD Description

Welsh siner Tom Jones is best known for boasting one of themost powerful voices in the music industry. His distinctivestyle has earned him over 100 million record sales since 1965. '24 Hours' follows 2005's 'Tom Jones And Jools Holland' and shows that he has lost none of his hunger or talent. Co-writing much of the album has given the Jones the freedom toadd some touches that hark back to his 1960's style. A gem for old fans and new.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best album for quite some time!, 16 Dec 2008
Tom jones music has somewhat of fanatical devotion here in wales, probably the result in over 45years of writing and performing, it goes without saying even at nerely 70 he can still produce the goods, not least to say "24 hours" is very impressive even more so when compared with most of his recent 90s output, with the rather dated pop orientated hits such as "sex bomb" and the co-written "mama told me not to come" which have sunk without trace.

This album if nothing else is a major turning point, back to the upbeat funky soul songs he's become famous for, the 60's classics such as "it's unusual" and "what's new pussycat." This album even though it's fresh of the roll has some fantastic songs make no mistake about it, the best of the bunch "i'm alive" the dancy "feels like music" and "sugar daddy" ooze with passion and quality the other songs are just as fantastic as well.

Diversity on this album is a great aspect, as it combines wonderful pop sensibilities of love ballads with other more cool soul tunes, it works very well, at least i think so, tom's vocals as always are very strong and clean and i have no arguements about the production either, i am very surprised with this release as i only got to hear it by accident, a very fitting record anywhere.

Clearly anyone looking to this as a perspective buyer will probably already have a rough idea of what to expect, but this might just might be much better than you bargained for. I thoroughly recommend this as the songs on the album are easily good enough to rival a greatest hits compilation, and at this price its a steal, i don't have any criticisms really apart from probably being very annoyed if this album doesnt sell by the bucket load!

Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars As if he'd never been away, 18 Dec 2008
By Victor Tugelbend (Hull, England) - See all my reviews
  
Tom Jones has seemed a little lost in the last few years, trying to get down with the kids and appeal to a new, younger audience. He reached his nadir with the atrocious and somewhat embarrasing 'Mr. Jones' collaboration with Wyclef Jean. Just recently his collaborations with Jools Holland have seen him give up on this track and concetrate on what he does best - belting out catchy songs with what must be the most powerful voice in the buisness.

On this album Tom really comes back full circle and delivers an album that would sit quite comfortably with much of his 60's breakthrough material. And that's no bad thing, he's the best there is at the powerful ballad/soul songs, and he brings all that experience to bear on these songs. An added attraction is that Tom has co-written many of the songs, giving it a very personal feel, especially 'the road', which is basically an apology to his long suffering wife.

All in all, a real return to form for Tom, delivering a catchy set of tunes with that unique voice in fine fettle. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The voice is back, 1 Nov 2008
By Gl Hughes (huddersfield) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The album Toms needed to make since Reload playing to his strengths barnstorming soul rockers and big 60s ballads this album is retro 60s but in a great way. Apparently inspired by toms son playing him the amy winehouse back to black this is a far stronger album than ms winehouse's
Key tracks the covers Im alive the old tommy james track and Springtseens the Hitter very nearly green grass of home 'ish and the bono co write Sugar daddy but really the whole cd is solid and very listenable. Credit to the band for their playing on the cd particularly the guitar on I'm alive
If you love old style Tom buy this its his best album since the 60's
