Don't recall Tom on that...you sure you aren't thinking of "Mama Told Me Not To Come"?

Give it a chance. The brilliance of Elbow may just outshine the naff-ness of Tom Jones...
Question

Tom has his moments, and his voice in the sixties was nothing short of spectacular. Not sure if he's really relevant anymore, but I doubt I would pass up the chance to work with him.

I wonder exactly how many knickers have been thrown at him?

If this collaboration goes well, maybe the lads will be asked to join him on one of his Vegas shows. After all, it's not unusual! What a Face

I'm not a Tom Jones fan at all, but he has recently covered The Hitter by Bruce Springsteen. He's made it quite different and the cover isn't that bad surprisingly. I won't automatically think this will be horrible, but I am hesitant.

Tom Jones is on Colin Murray's show tonight, maybe he will mention it.

Subject: Re: Elbow to work with Tom Jones Mon 27 Oct 2008, 13:25

I can imagine Tom Jones doing a cover of Grounds For Divorce.

Why not... Tom Jones is cool! U2 are helping him out, too.
