Jo chats to showbiz legend Tom Jones about his forthcoming album Surrounded By Time, which the singer is releasing at the age of 80.
Surrounded By Time is out on April 23rd. Co-produced by Ethan Johns and Mark Woodward, it marks out new territory with a sonic landscape of outstanding musicianship and a vocal delivery that re-imagines a diverse set of songs of personal importance that have impacted the artist throughout a long career.
Surrounded By Time inhabits new ground, with Talking Reality Television Blues a startling opener that catalogues the impact and changing role of television from its beginning to current times. A driving, almost menacing track accompanies a cool, spoken-word vocal from a performer who has an intimate personal and working knowledge of this cultural force. As Tom explains, 鈥滻 was there when TV started -- didn鈥檛 know I鈥檇 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.鈥
Plus Jo has the Thursday Theme - songs relating to relaxation, as April is Stress Awareness Month. Send all your peaceful and calming song suggestions to jo.whiley@bbc.co.uk
