The Modfather has done it again. This, the seventh consecutive fine record from Mr. Weller (after a somewhat musically lost period dating back to the Style Council), sees (hears) him covering all the bases. From the straight-ahead punk rock of "From the Floorboards Up" ...

A Different Side of Weller
During the punk era and on into the nineties, I was heavily into jazz and tango. So I missed The Jam, the Style Council, and the first part of Paul Weller's solo career. My introduction to the music of Paul Weller came via an article in a business magazine (of all ...

Wild Wood
Paul Weller

A Modern Trad-Rock Classic
"Wild Wood" is both Paul Weller's best recording and the best contemporary take on classic British rock. Elements of Traffic, Small Faces, Beatles, and Stones are all evident and combined to perfection. In short, if you think they stopped making great albums around ...

Weller's Gamble Pays Off
While I don't agree with the industry reviewer's assertion that Paul Weller's solo career has not matched the creative heights of his years with The Jam and The Style Council, I do agree that his solo work tended to remain within his stylistic comfort zone. But here on ...

Style Council's Final Album-Proper
Paul Weller's first solo album feels quite like any of the Style Council's albums- Jazzy cords, funk interludes and romantic themes. In fact, most of the members of Style Council play the music.
It makes sense that Paul Weller "disbanded" the Style Council. ...

Illumination [Limited Edition w/ Bonus DVD]

Yep Roc Records, 2003
A Great CD!
Why is it reviews of Weller always mention The Jam and Style Council? They were great bands, and I'm certainly a fan of them. Regardless, it's 25 years on, and let's listen to Illumination for what it is rather than the what it's not. I'll also applaud Mr. Weller ...
