Jones the Voice: Live On “World Cafe” With The Band & Singers
Friday, January 30th, 2009Tom and the gang recorded a World Cafe session in New York late last year. And, as you will hear, it’s really nice. The musicians all sound great and Tom is wonderful. It’s always striking when you listen to him talk how enthusiastic and pleasant he is. Clearly, he loves what he does and loves telling stories about his life. There’s no false modesty, just honesty and humor. And host David Dye — who knows his music — is right: Tom’s band is “terrific.”
First up, the teaser. • Next is Tom singing It’s Not Unusual. • The interview begins as Tom talks about Bono, Sugar Daddy, being alive and sings I’m Alive • Here, Tom discusses Elvis and sings If He Should Ever Leave You. • In this final segment Tom talks about Otis Redding, singing for men, being “born to sing” and, then, singing Give A Little Love.
