Listen on Spotify at: Draggin the Line -2020 version
The hip-hop-infused “Draggin’ The Line -2020 Version” is off James’ first new album in ten years, Alive, written and produced by Tommy. Released in 2019, Alive charted #10 on Billboard’s Independent Chart. The original “Draggin The Line” was a top 5 single in 1971.
T.O.N.E.-z is an American musician, rapper, and actor best known for his Emmy nomination for the theme song to FX Network drama series "Justified," in which he also appeared as an actor. His latest single "The Parallel" ...about anti-bullying.. has reached over 1 million video plays on Facebook.
Steven van Zandt is the beloved guitarist of Bruce Springsteen and The E-Street Band and fronts his own Little Steven and The Disciples of Soul.
Tommy James' road to superstardom began when a nightclub DJ in Pittsburgh discovered a two-year-old record by "The Shondells" and played it at his weekend dances. The crowd response was so overwhelmingly positive that radio deejays started spinning it and an enterprising record distributor bootlegged it, selling 80,000 copies in ten days. By May of 1966 "Hanky Panky" was the number one record in Pittsburgh and Tommy James was a sensation.
When Tommy’s not touring around the world, he now has his own show on SIRIUS/XM RADIO – “Getting’ Together With Tommy James” – Sunday evenings from 5-8 pm on the 60’s at 6 channel.
