Tom Jones is gearing up to release new album, Surrounded by Time, on April 23 via S-Curve Records/BMG. On it, Tom worked with legendary producer Ethan Johns and brings his still powerful pipes to songs by Bob Dylan, Michael Kiwanuka, Terry Callier, Cat Stevens/Yusuf, Todd Snider and more.
The new single off the record is "No Hole in My Head" which is by folk singer and activist Malvina Reynolds, who you might know for "Little Boxes" and "What Have They Done to the Rain." Tom's version is decidedly been Tom Jones'd up, danceable with some groovy sitar, but the message remains the same. "This song is powerful at any age," explains Tom Jones. "It’s about having confidence in who you are. Particularly during this time of a pervasive, boundless media that can wield so much influence, it’s more important than ever to know and be strong in your own self."
