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.
