Tom Jones
Praise & Blame
Jones has collaborated with producer Ethan Johns to release a captivating collection of songs drawn from the American spiritual, blues and contemporary repertoire. Praise & Blame is a stripped-down, gritty, soul-bearing album from an artist with a successful, multi-genre recording career that spans five decades.
Jones celebrated his 70th birthday on June 7 this year.
One would never guess that he has reached such a milestone when hearing the power, restraint and clarity he presents in his renditions of songs by Susan Werner, Bob Dylan and John Lee Hooker.
Traditional repertoire from the works of The Staple Singers, Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe are also given unique, fervent interpretations by a world-renowned voice that is at the top of its game. This is Tom Jones as you’ve never heard him before.

Alejandro Escovedo
Street Songs Of Love
Street Songs of Love, Alejandro Escovedo’s follow-up to 2008’s universally acclaimed Real Animal, marks a return of sorts and simultaneously begins an entirely new chapter in his long artistic career.
While Escovedo’s live shows have been full of rock & roll moments, his albums are best-known for his poetic ballads with a few rockers carefully layered in.
Street Songs of Love changes that up: this is a recording of straight-up, tough rockers with a crack band and backing chorus that weaves a few ballads into the mix.
