5.0 out of 5 stars 61 MINUTES OF HEAVENLY JOY!, February 7, 2005

This is the album I've been waiting for Tom Jones to make, for the past 20 years! These are the songs God intended Tom to sing, when he handed young Thomas Woodward, THAT voice. No plastic R & B here, these songs reach into your gut, and give it a shake. Tom is in magnificent voice throught - powerful, "smokey" and, dripping with feeling. Superb arrangements and musicianship from Jools and the boys, make sure that it all hangs together brilliantly. And, it's impossible to miss the fact that they all had a lot of fun making this record.
Simply put, if you're a lover of genuine rhythm & blues, performed the way it should be - then, you must own this album. It's an absolute "cracker" from start to finish.
I hope it sells millions, because that way, there'll be a Volume 2 - and I can't wait!

4.0 out of 5 stars "200lbs Of Heavenly Joy" - No Kidding!!, October 31, 2004

This review is from: Tom Jones & Jools Holland (Audio CD)

I have been a Tom Jones fan for many years, and have seen him in concert 6 times (so far). His collaboration with Jools Holland is an R&B gem. I found the 'Mr. Jones' album wildly uneven (although the good songs on it were incredibly good) but this newest offering is consisently strong and rockin'. 'TJ & JH' is in the same league as 'Reload'.
My only complaint would be too few ballads, but the fantastic 'Who Will the Next Fool Be' and 'Baptism By Fire' (co-written by Tom himself) are good breaks in the raise-the-roof jam session.
A must-have for any Tom fan, even at the import price.

This is the party album of this Century.
The amazing colloboration of Tom Jones and Jools Holland brings every track to life with a total energized fashion. Tom's voice is in total control and the powerful vocal chords swing into action with every note recorded. Jools Hollands amazing piano playing is striking from Blues to Rockin' Roll with quick action.
This album is a dream for any music fan and any age. Don't miss out on this one.
