TBL NEWS ROUND UP: JOHN PAUL JONES IN SPAIN/ ROBERT’S ANGEL DANCE VIDEO/ BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION ONE LAST SOUL DOWNLOAD/ JEZZ WOODROFFE ALBUM
With the Them Crooked Vultures members now returning back to their day jobs , John Paul Jones first post TCV appearance found him in Spain at the African Express concert held in A Coruña, Galiza, NW Spain over the weekend. Reports are sparse but I can confirm that John appeared playing bass on Elíades Ochoa’s version of “Chan Chan.” Mariam improvised and everyone enhanced the haunting Cuban masterpiece. He also appeared alongside former Clash guitarist Mick Jones, Amadou and Mariam, Ochoa, Amparo Sánchez and others in a version of “Rock The Casbah” sung by Rachid Taha.

Black Country Communion have today posted a free MP3 download of their debut single “One Last Soul” on their official website – www.bccommunion.com. Recently premiered on the UK’s leading classic rock radio station ‘Planet Rock’, “One Last Soul” has become one of the station’s most requested songs of 2010.

I agree with G.P. and M.A, above it certainly is more in the vain of Led III folk/rock style. Robert’s vocals are spot on. The video is cool, Robert looks great. Can’t wait until my disc arrives upon release. I love the photo of JPJ he looks like he is having the time of his life. I love the irony that he’s playing with Mick Jones…. what was it the Clash once said about Zeppelin?…hmmm. For those who want to get a sense of what Jimmy’s up to I recommend Ross Halfin’s website under his Diary. Great pictures now and then of Jimmy, who looks to me as if he’s having a great time as well. I’m still hopeful about his upcoming work and waiting for my book to be delivered next month?
I like the sound production and Robert’s voice sounds in good form but too me the song is a little too laid back and boring. It is lacking soul and passion-I can get into that type of music in the right setting.Fate of nations was the last album that I recall Robert really putting some passion into the music.-I will look forward to hearing more from the album though.I’m more curious about Jimmy’s so-called upcoming project.
I downloaded the single today for BCC – One Last Soul, must admit its a really good track, looking forward to the album when it comes out, Joe plays a great solo. The Angel Dance song aint too bad either, its starting to grow on me more, its a pity I cant get on with the live country folk rock versions of the Zep songs he’s currently doing on the US Tour, Ill give them a few more plays on the tube to see if they grow on me.
Anyway rock on!

I like ‘Angel Dance’ more every time I hear it; and the video is very cute.
Roberts new single wouldnt sound out of place on Zep III or IV,very “Evermore” meets “Gallows Pole “.Superb.
