Later... Jools Holland is 20! This is a great reason for the best of all music show masters to put together an extraordinary compilation. 17 historically proven songs have been expertly re-recorded for the album The Golden Age Of Song, featuring a Who Is Who of high-profile artists who have significantly shaped the past decade.
For instance, Florence Welsh delivers a wonderful version of Nina Simone's “My Baby Just Cares For Me,” and Jessie J. brings Oleta Adams' classic “Get Here” to the forefront. The newly discovered soft jazz vocalist, Rumer, is also represented with a musical gem, namely “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive,” an Arlen/Mercer composition from the 1940s that has also been tackled by Bing Crosby and Artie Shaw. Joss Stone interprets a stunning “Bei mir bist Du schön,” which was made world-famous by the Andrew Sisters in 1938, and Simply Red mastermind Mick Hucknall intones the Duke Ellington classic “I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good).” Tom Jones is also known for his love of good songwriting and can be heard on the album with “I’ll Sail My Ship Alone,” which was a major Hank Williams hit in the 1950s.
Some additional recordings have been taken from JOOLS' popular New Year's show “The Hootenanny” and remixed. For example, “Don’t Go To Strangers” in a spectacular duet by Amy Winehouse with Paul Weller, Cee-Lo Green with the Jackie Wilson classic “Reet Petite,” and Florence Welsh with “My Baby Just Cares For Me.” Lily Rose Cooper, better known as Lily Allen, shines with “The Lady Is A Tramp,” which is known from the musical “Babes In Arms.”
Last but not least, JOOLS HOLLAND himself cannot be missed, as he has recorded “When You’re Smiling” with his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, a song written by Louis Armstrong that was later turned into a jazz and crooning standard by Louis Prima and Frank Sinatra.
If anyone knows about pop music of every kind and color, it is the master of music shows: JOOLS HOLLAND. With his BBC show Later...Jools Holland, the TV star, pianist, and bandleader JOOLS HOLLAND has the probably most cult music show in Europe. All the big and small names have already appeared on his show: stars with cult status, artists shaping the musical landscape, and newcomers on the brink of worldwide fame – many of whom have been catapulted to the top through their appearance on the show. JOOLS HOLLAND is considered the definite best in his field, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the cultural crown jewels of Britain. After all, he received the “Order of the British Empire” from Queen Elizabeth II in June 2003 for his special contributions to the British music industry.
