Tom Jones announces new album with first track "Talking Reality Television Blues"
Tom Jones has returned with details of his first studio album in over five years, Surrounded By Time, alongside unveiling the first track "Talking Reality Television Blues".
"Talking Reality Television Blues" is the first taster of Jones' new album, and is a reimagined version of Todd Snider's original.
Jones says of the song, "I was there when TV started -- didn’t know I'd become a part of it -- but it could be that its power is to remind us how wonderful, crazy and inventive we are, but also how scary the reality it reflects can be."
Surrounded By Time is co-produced by Ethan Johns and Mark Woodward, and will be his first new studio album since 2015's Long Lost Suitcase. All the tracks on the album are reimagined versions of songs that have had a big impact on Jones' life and career.
