Taga Jones le Poignard

At age 62, Tom Jones is, in a sense, making a comeback with each new recording. That is certainly the case with Mr. Jones, on which he puts himself in the hands of producers Wyclef Jean and Jerry Duplessis. Jones has never minded being the mouthpiece of a producer or two, confident enough in his own persona to stretch to meet different styles. Here, he collaborates with his partners, co-writing many of the songs. And the trio isn't afraid to take on the Jones' legend directly, starting with the lead-off track, "Tom Jones International," which even finds the singer rapping – well, sort of – in a dance-friendly paean to himself.

Tom Jones has always been better than the average music snob has been willing to acknowledge. Even when he was making his living as the greatest of all Las Vegas lounge lizards, he had craft, passion, and a desire to deliver for his audience that put his peers to shame. At the age of 75, he's not only singing with all the force, power, and authority he commanded in the '60s and '70s, but he's making the best and most ambitious recordings of his career. Long Lost Suitcase is Jones' third project with producer Ethan Johns, and like 2010's Praise & Blame and 2012's Spirit in the Room, it finds Jones digging into rootsy sounds that give him a chance to indulge his passion for blues, vintage gospel, and R&B.

The annual "MILCHBAR" selection presents the finest chill-out vibes as a soundtrack for the perfect sunset by the sea. This year, Blank & Jones have invited artists from all over the world to contribute to this magical journey: Ibiza residents George Solar (La Torre) and Ken Fan (Café Del Mar), Brit JIM from Crazy P., long-term Danish friends The Swan and The Lake as well as Jacob Gurevitsch and from France Jpye and Alma Este, who contribute a stunning adaptation of Daft Punk's "Something About You".
