	Paul Weller Biography
		Paul Weller was strangely overlooked by the UK press, who at this stage seemed resistant to the artist's revival, despite the presence of fine songs in "Clues" and "Strange Museum".
		Weller's renaissance was confirmed in 1993 with the release of "Sunflower", a breezy, Traffic-inspired folk rock enterprise, and Wild Wood, arguably the finest collection of songs Weller had written since the Jam's All Mod Cons.
		Weller's fans were forced to wait another three years for the follow-up, Heliocentric, and although much was promised, the album lacked the punch and sparkle of previous efforts.

	Paul Weller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paul Weller (born John William Weller on 25 May 1958, in Stanley Road, Woking, Surrey) is an English singer-songwriter.
		Weller was the leader and protagonist behind the formation of two successful bands, The Jam and The Style Council.
		Weller was strongly influenced by 1960s bands such as The Kinks, The Small Faces and The Who, all three great favourites of his and whose influence can be heard in much of The Jam's material.

		As the leader of the Jam, Paul Weller fronted the most popular British band of the punk era, influencing legions of English rockers that ranged from his mod-revival contemporaries to the Smiths in the '80s and Oasis in the '90s.
		Weller's solo records were more organic and rootsier than the Style Council, which helped him regain his popularity within Britain.
		Recorded with producer Brendan Lynch, Paul Weller was a joyous, soulful return to form that was recorded with several members of the Young Disciples, former Blow Monkey Dr.

	The Jam and Paul Weller
		Frontman Paul Weller was vocally and instrumentally limited, and his work was often derivative, with his musical approach being modelled closely not on just punk and New Wave contemporaries, but on 60s Mod and acid rock acts like the Beatles, the Kinks, and the Who (not to mention his strong interest in jazz and Motown).
		Weller can't always get his material to gel - the opening title track is a tantalizing fragment - but his sense of dynamics and melody is consistently striking ("To Be Someone (Didn't We Have A Nice Time?)"), and the rhythm section is taut and energizing ("The Place I Love").
		Weller's surefire songwriting and precise Townshend-style power chords carry all the key tracks: his glorious youth gang anthem "Thick As Thieves," his incredibly bleak "Burning Sky," which takes the form of a rambling personal letter, and his memorable rocker "Eton Rifles" (a commercial breakthrough single, pushing them to #3 on the charts).

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Paul Weller
		Style Council's were generally best when Weller wasn't trying to capture the mood of contentment and peace; that band's noble ambitions seldom seemed to be in tune with Paul's greatest strengths, as his voice definitely reaches a peak when it's at its most energetic and impassioned.
		While it may leave you doubting whether Weller's potential still exceeds his songs, you'll be impressed by the amount of sheer talent he has on display.
		I can't hear any Paul Weller, even during his house music moments, without concluding that his is a muse which will always matter.

	Paul Weller
		Weller has barely even spoken to his former bandmates since then, and you can rest assured there will be snowball fights in hell whenever a Jam reunion of any imaginable sort takes place.
		Weller had the balls to explore any and every musical direction that happened to strike his fancy, including soul, jazz, funk, dance, Euro-pop, and even rap (and that was back in 1983, when old-school rap was just getting started).
		True, Weller ventured into pretentious self-indulgence on many a TSC outing, but the foppish fancy lad and his cohorts produced a lot of great music, which is most evident when you listen to the singles collections instead of the largely uneven albums.

		Recorded with producer Brendan Lynch, Paul Weller was a joyous, soulful return to form that was recorded with several members of the Young Disciples, former Blow Monkey Dr. Robert, and Weller's then-wife, Dee C. Lee.
		Weller supported the album with an extensive tour, which featured Cradock as the group's leader; the guitarist's exposure on Wild Wood helped him successfully relaunch Ocean Colour Scene in 1995.
		Stanley Road may have been greeted with mixed reviews, but Weller had been re-elevated to his status as an idol, with the press claiming that he was the father of the thriving Brit pop movement, and artists like Noel Gallagher of Oasis singing his praises.

	Paul Weller - Paul Weller - Virgin Radio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Far too tanned to be taken seriously as a pasty faced mod these days, I'm a bit worried that he might have lost his cockney edge, but from the first few bars of 'from the floorboards up', I'm relieved that he's still as 'Laahdan' as ever in his delivery.
		More vibrant, vivacious and raw live, than his albums give him credit for, he really comes into his own during live performances like this, where the pent up energy can be released in a kick, head shake and even a suggestive bite of the lip.
		The distorted guitar intro to 'Porcelain Gods' has Paul's medallion (not as big as the Hoff's) glinting to the audience under the stage lights, as he struts purposefully between the members of the band.

		Paul Weller is an icon from my formative years.

	Paul Weller: Sir Paul Scores Again with Heavy Soul (NY Rock CD Review)
		As leader of the Jam, he rose to fame as the band rode the crest of the late-seventies punk phenomenon, however, it was the group’s later, more polished RandB-tinged work that actually received the greatest amount of airplay.
		During this phase of his career, Weller let it be known, by no uncertain terms, that all current forms of government should be toppled and replaced with a new international and decidedly Marxist regime.
		The trio that Weller refers to is rounded out by long-time partner Steve White on drums, Marco Nelson on bass, and, of course, the master himself on guitar and vocals.

		Makes sense; back in the late '70s new-wave days when Weller led The Jam, he was the boy who wanted to be Pete (Townshend).
		As such, the album is an instruction manual on how a rocker can mature gracefully, but it also makes the case for Weller's ascension from acquired popular British taste to something approaching greatness.
		The guitar that led The Jam's three-man charge still stands front and center within a style that seamlessly ranges from soul to pop to hard-edged post-punk and many places and mixes thereof in between.

	Jamming! Magazine Archives: Paul Weller interview from 1978
		And unlike the critics, I thought that the album 'This Is The Modern World' was one of the greatest ever made (and because it meant so much to me back then, I still do).
		So when I got a letter back from Paul Weller, suggesting I give his parents a call and come up to the studio to interview him, I was elated beyond belief.
		And for reasons that are better left unscrutinized, it marked the start of a friendship between myself and Weller which lasted throughout the rest of my teens and resulted, in 1981, in my leaving school after my 'O' Levels to run a record label with him.
