New Jools Holland CD — Featuring Two Songs With Tom — Is Now Available

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

jools CD

The new Jools Holland CD, with 22 cuts, most of them duets, including two with Tom (I Wish I Was 18 Again and Friends Not Lovers) was released this week.

Tom and Jools share co-writing credit on Friends Not Lovers.

When we saw the first song Tom does is I Wish I Was 18 Again it brought a smile to our faces. Our friend Frankie Scinta does the number in his family’s act at the Sahara as part of his impression of George Burns, who made the song famous. From the bit we heard we can tell you, though, that Tom’s version is more melodic than Burns’. What’s really odd (from a George Burns point of view; not from a Tom Jones point of view) is that the song was written by Jerry Lee.

The CD is available from eBay and from amazon.uk. So far, the buy-it-now eBay prices are high but you know that’ll go down. If you must have it now, go to the amazon page. Otherwise, wait. Either way, you can hear clips from the songs.

Let us know what you think of the CD.

Thanks to mharding who sent us a link to a very funny commercial for the CD by comic Vic Reeves. It has a tiny clip of Tom recording. You should watch.

There is a website where you can learn about the CD and buy a copy, too.

    Hello

    Here’s the tv ad presented by Vic Reeves. Tom’s in it slightly.

    Thanks, Mharding, for the link to the TV Ad - that was great - although they should have showed a bit more of Tom in the commercial ….

    Also to Ellen and Ursula, thanks for letting me know about the CD. I had been struggling for a Christmas idea for Sister Sue and you just supplied me with the answer! Of course, I may have to listen to it before I give it to her but she won’t mind.
