![]() ![]() ![]() There are a lot of parallels to be drawn between the careers of Neil Young and Paul Weller. For every bizarre collaboration with Lenny Henry there’s a Gil Evans Blue Note arrangement to sate yourself with, and despite the Parisian pretentions, Marriott moustaches and C&A catalogue poses, there’s a strong body of work to be (re)discovered. Indeed, if all he’d been known for was the music he recorded with the Style Council, Weller would these days be something of a cult hero. Time and hindsight has been far kinder on his second band than you’d have believed back in 1985 though, and you can’t argue with the stellar run of singles they released during their 5 albums in 5 years lifespan. Splitting The Jam at the height of their success for the political, pastel posturing of the Style Council ruffled more than a few feathercuts. Paul Weller gives nary a thought to what others think of him and his music.
