The collaboration of the year touches down when Tom 'the voice' Jones and Jools 'the piano' Holland release their joint foray of musical delight, Tom Jones & Jools Holland. A roots rock 'n' roll album, it will have exactly the same effect on you as it did on them; make you remember why you loved music in the first place.

Already sharing a love of rhythm and blues, country and rock n roll, Tom Jones & Jools Holland is a collection of some of the greatest songs the genres have to offer mixed with some brand new tracks, all performed with the exuberant power and spontaneous enthusiasm that only a pairing of this kind could produce. 'Tom Jones & Jools Holland is a barrage of timeless tracks, with Howlin' Wolf's "200lbs Of Heavenly Joy" kick starting a campaign of classics. "Good Morning Blues/One O'Clock Jump", "My Babe", "Who Will The Next Fool Be" and the classic "Hanging My Heart Up For You" add to the mix and offer the most intimate insight into the influences that have formed two of the UK's greatest ever performers.

Tom Jones & Jools Holland also harbours some future classics in the form of new, joint-Jools-and-Jones records written especially for the album. The opening track, the splendidly titled "Life's Too Short", is the first fruit of the Jones / Jools tree.
