The six years since his last album have been tough for Tom Jones. The singer lost Linda, his wife of 59 years, in 2016 and also found himself in hospital with a bacterial infection.
As he was leaving the ward, his doctors suggested it might be time for him to slow down a bit. He politely rejected their advice: ‘That was a red rag to a bull,’ he says.
He has since resumed his role as a coach on ITV talent show The Voice, where he is a wise mentor to aspiring singers, and today releases his 41st album.

Tom Jones has announced plans for a new covers album and he’s shared the first track – a reworking of Todd Snider’s ‘Talking Reality Television Blues’.
The Radiohead style cover of the track, which you can listen to below, is the first taster from ‘Surrounded By Time’, the follow-up to his 2015 record ‘Long Lost Suitcase’. It comes out on April 23.
“I was there when TV started – didn’t know I’d become a part of it – but it could be that its power is to remind us how wonderful, crazy and inventive we are, but also how scary the reality it reflects can be,” Jones said.
