Rival Sons play live and Sir Tom Jones talks through his new album

Duration:: 2 hours, 57 minutes

First broadcast:: Sunday 24 June 2012

Dubbed "one of the top 5 bands to watch" by the Huffington Post and compared to Led Zeppelin by Bob himself, California's 'Rival Sons' should make quite an impression with their acoustic session.

Sir Tom Jones also visits to talk Bob through his latest collaboration with producer Ethan Johns on 'Spirit In The Room'. Recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World studios, it includes covers of songs by Blind Willie Johnson, Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Richard Thompson amongst others.
