Tommy was a big fan of his fellow rock stars in the 1960s. “I’ve been wanting to glue these two songs together for a long time,” says James. “The riffs work together hand-in-glove. They’re the same tempo and key - yet totally different songs!” The track was released to digital outlets worldwide on March 20, 2020 via Aura Entertainment/The Orchard.  

Tommy James is celebrated not only as a singer and songwriter with his band The Shondells in the 1960s, but also as an innovative producer of smashes “Crimson and Clover,” “Mony Mony,” and “Crystal Blue Persuasion,”, with many millions sold in his fifty years of making music. 

Tommy celebrates the music of the 1960s on his weekly radio show ‘Gettin’ Together’ on SiriusXM’s 60s on 6. His acclaimed biography Me, The Mob and The Music is currently in production as a biopic, and he continues to tour nationwide with The Shondells.

While Paul McCartney was reveling in all his top 5 hits in 1971, Tommy James, legendary star of Tommy James and the Shondells, also had a  Top 5 hit with “Draggin’ The Line”.  Now in 2020 Tommy drops a stellar remake of “Draggin The Line - 2020 Version”, featuring Emmy Award-winning rapper T.O.N.E-z and celebrated guitarist Steven van Zandt. 

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.

“I'd been thinking about a remake of "Draggin' The Line" for a long time and felt that a street version might be perfect.” says Tommy. “I got ahold of T.O.N.E-z, who is a great friend and an amazing talent, to lay down a rap. Then I called in another fantastic friend, Stevie Van Zandt, to record the guitar solo.”  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.
