Jones turns his formidable voice to blues and gospel as well as the work of an array of songwriters including Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and even The Low Anthem. Through his career Jones has had 36 Top 40 hits. His first was 1964’s “It’s Not Unusual” which remains his signature song. In a wide-ranging interview today we talk about growing up in Wales and a childhood bout with Tuberculosis that left the bed-ridden Jones to discover American music on the radio. He’ll also tell a few tales about Elvis.
