Bono, The Edge Guest On Tom Jones Album
After 15 years without a new album in the U.S., Tom Jones will release a disc of almost entirely original material this fall.
The 68-year-old singer will release "24 Hours" on Nov. 25 via S-Curve Records. It's a retro-tinged album much in the style of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" that finds the Welshman's voice as strong as ever.
There are two covers on the album -- Bruce Springsteen's "The Hitter" and "I'm Alive" by Tommy James and the Shondells -- but the rest Jones either co-wrote or collaborated with the songwriters. Bono and the Edge of U2 guest on the song "Sugar Daddy."
"The fire is still in me," Jones told the Associated Press in a recent interview, speaking by phone from his home in Los Angeles. "Not to be an oldie, but a goodie. I want to be a contender."
"I wanted my voice to sound as natural as possible," Jones said of the album. "The arrangements and the production needs to be modern, but the vocal needs to sound like me."
The disc was produced by British production duo Future Cat, who have cut tracks for Lily Allen, Kate Nash and others. With backing horns and an almost Stax Records kind of soul, the sound is distinctly retro.
"We've been thinking about this for a while, doing a retro sound but new," said Jones. "And Amy Winehouse, she cracked it. When that album came out, my son called me right away and said, 'You know what we've been talking about? Listen to this.'"
While his 2000 album "Reload" was a hit in Europe and elsewhere (buoyed by the club hit "Sex Bomb"), it was never released in the U.S. -- which Jones calls "a shame."
"The hits that I've had recently have all been European," he said. "I've had a lot of success worldwide, which is a pain because I live here and I do most of my shows in America ... Hopefully this will straighten that out."
Jones, who regularly performs in Las Vegas, believes his voice hasn't aged -- thanks partly to his careful treatment of it; he takes a humidifier with him traveling to keep his throat from drying. Jones even believes his lower registers have gotten richer.
"I love doing the songs that I've had success with and the audience keeps those alive," Jones said. "But I love moving on."

In agreement there.Unless it's a dedication to The Edge and a reworking of "You Can Keep Your Hat On"

sugar daddy
if you read the michka assayas book bono in conversation (aka bono on bono), you might recall that at one point in the book, bono sings/recites the above lyrics to michka. it is during a passage when michka is asking bono if, as a boy, he recalls ever having heard his mother sing. he says no, but he remembers watching tom jones on tv with her. and then bono goes on to say that he and simon carmody have been writing a song for tom jones called sugar daddy. (this conversation between michka and bono took place in may, 2004.)
so, i'm not saying those are the lyrics, but ... as you may have heard, bono and edge "guest" on the upcoming tom jones album, on a track called sugar daddy. the official news release says: "Bono and the Edge of U2 contribute and play guitar on a brand new song, Sugar Daddy, written specifically for Jones and inspired by a meeting of the friends in a pub in Dublin."
i think we can assume that the lyrics and song have changed a bit since 2004, but you've also gotta think it'll have the flavor of the above.
bono also told michka way back when that this song has got a "really amazing bass part, which goes boo-boo-bom boo-boo-boo-bom."
