Tom Jones Joins Shaun

Tom Jones joins Shaun to chat about his new book. Plus Matt Everitt is here with the latest Music News.

Wednesday sees the legendary Tom Jones joining Shaun to chat about his new book 'Over The Top And Back' and his new album 'Long Lost Suitcase'.

Long Lost Suitcase is the third in a trilogy of albums, following 2010's Praise & Blame and Spirit In The Room in 2012. It contains another set of tracks that have impacted on Tom throughout his legendary career. The album features a diverse catalogue of compositions from the likes of Gillian Welch, Rolling Stones through to Hank Williams and The Milk Carton Kids.

The album is accompanied by Tom's first ever autobiography Over The Top And Back, which looks back at his six decades of experience in the music industry, the nature of success and its consequences.

Tom joins Shaun to revisit his past and tells the tale of his journey from wartime Pontypridd to LA and beyond. He reveals the stories behind the ups and downs of his fascinating and remarkable life, from the early heydays to the subsequent fallow years to his later period of artistic renaissance.
