Paul Weller: Wild Wood
The 1993 release of Wild Wood single handedly changed Weller's persona. No longer was he only "Paul Weller of The Jam/Style Council," now he was the larger than life "Modfather," the patriarch of Britpop and all things hip. Led by a renewed creative spark and expanded influences including Nick Drake, Traffic and even Crosby, Stills & Nash, Weller produced, according to Q Magazine, a "pastoral coming of age masterpiece."
Wild Wood single-handedly defined Weller as a solo artist while simultaneously wrenching British rock from the grips of techno in the UK and the imposing influence of grunge from the west. This deluxe edition reissue includes an expanse of bonus material including b sides, demos, BBC session versions and unreleased tracks reinforcing the fact that Wild Wood, as Uncut Magazine put it, "...made the Modfather, it changed British rock."    |
