At 67 PAUL WELLER is one of those enduring artists with a high percentage of music in
his blood. Following his angry young man years with The Jam and five LPs with his posh project The Style Council he started his top-ranking solo career in 1992. Since then, he has released 17 albums.
And #18, named El Dorado, is out on July 25th.
It’s a covers album (tracklist below). One of them
is the Bee Gees‘ 1968 pearl I STARTED A JOKE.
Weller‘s take is classy.
