Tom Jones has named the second single from his new album Surrounded By Time, a cover of Malvina Reynolds’ 1971 classic ‘No Hole In My Head’.
Sir Tom Jones is on a roll.
The 80-year-old Welsh crofter is the coach of the 2021 series The Voice and has just released his second single from the 41st – yes, 41st – studio album, Surrounded by time.
His fourth album in ten years, the latest collection is a set of diverse songs, with the first single ‘Talking Reality Television Blues’ a rare departure for the star, and the second a good cover of Malvina Reynolds’ ‘No Hole In My Head’.
The second single from the album was originally written by Reynolds as a folk-blues song and was repeated by Sir Tom as an engaging pop-rock track.
Accompanying the new single is a cool music video that sees the star being interrogated by a masked man while they are both seated in a dark interview room.
Tom’s character changes with a mix of characters including a teenage boy and a middle-aged woman, before ending up with the star sticking both fingers up to the camera in a challenging action.

Along with the release of his latest album, Sir Tom Jones is currently celebrating over 50 years in the music industry with the ninth stint as his coach. The Voice.
The Welsh singing awareness has awakened the show’s audience with two performances in the last few weeks, both of which stand out as they sit upright in the chair of his coaches.
On January 9, Tom Jones sang Solomon Burke ‘s famous song’ Cry To Me ‘from the film Dirty dance and on January 16 he left the audience in tears after a tender performance of Elvis Presley’s favorite ‘With These Hands’.
