News About Our Tom Jones 2009 Calendar, Another Song From “24 Hours” and Where The CD Stands
Sunday, October 19th, 2008
First, some TJI.com business: We’re placing the final print order for the 2009 Fan Calendar tomorrow, so we need any calendar orders by 1 p.m. PDT Monday.
This is just one of the pages and, as you can see, the painting on the left is singular and the photo on the right is an onstage Tom so many fans k ow so well. There are lots of offstage candids and the photos go from 1965 to 2008. Each month has some significant dates in Tom’s career and, in a word, the calendar is unique and eminently collectible. To order, click the appropriate button at right — US or outside US — and, if you have any questions, please href="http://tomjonesintl.com/wp-admin/post.php#" mce_href="http://tomjonesintl.com/wp-admin/post.php#">email us..
This is from 24 Hours and is used the soundtrack of FIFA 09 video game. (“FIFA” stands for the “Fédération Internationale de Football Association or the International Federation of Association Football.”) The soundtrack features 42 songs from 21 countries. Feels Like Music is one of them.
Not a 24 Hours favorite of ours, but it is really high-energy fun.
Feels Like Music (Junkie Xl Remix)
A check of amazon.com (USA) finds 24 Hours at #1,241 on the Bestseller in Music list. Considering that the CD hasn’t been promoted a lot here and there is no single, that is pretty good. We expect it to go up very quickly once awareness spreads.
At amazon.co.uk (Great Britain) it’s at #322. With only airplay and nothing released yet — almost one month before being released — again, it’s pretty good and, as in the US, we expect it to go up very quickly once awareness spreads.

Not one of my favorites but you are right, moderator, it has lots of energy. Good news about amazon in the US and the UK. I would never even think to look. That’s why I like tji so much!

I really like this one!!! Bouncy and lively. I am not sure yet about the title track, 24 Hours. It’s a little too dark and depressing. But this one is GREAT. Makes me want to get up and MOVE. I think Tom would have a great time on stage with this.
Just my take on it.

I have heard most of the songs released from the new CD and I am not sure if I really like any of them.
I do, however, love his voice. The song choice is a good mix but I miss him singing the love songs from the older albums. I really don’t know what to make of ” 24 hours”. Thanks again ladies for all the great info and keeping us up on all things Tom. I follow your website news religiously.
