Album Notes The once-and-future Mod here places a few of his eggs in one basket with this live flutter through his back pages culled from a plethora of European shows from 2001. The songs' origins are helpfully itemized for those who aren't Weller completists, and although there's no attempt at chronological order, DAYS OF SPEED is an intriguing glimpse of his development as a songwriter.Weller culls a little bit of everything from all over; there's the yearning "English Rose," the coruscating "That's Entertainment," and "Town Called Malice" from his days with the UK's premier second-wave Mod band The Jam. The Soft Machine-era Robert Wyatt cover "Hope for Happiness" is a nice surprise. There are also cuts from the Style Council, but most of the material here comes from his solo output, which is deeper but arguably a little less instantly striking than that of his glory days. Nevertheless, Weller's still able to summon the angst that made songs such as the aforementioned "That's Entertainment" so memorable in their portrayal of '70s London life. His anger stands in interesting juxtaposition to Ray Davies's sentimental regret covering similar territory. In its entirety, DAYS OF SPEED is a fascinating overview of a perceptive chronicler of his own, and his nation's, angst. | |||||||||||
Reviews Paul Weller - Days Of Speed (CD 2006). superb acoustic album, this was weller's 2nd live album after 'live wood'.i had to rebuy as my original copy was knackered because it was played so much. especially tracks 4 & 15 "Clues" & "Everything Has a Price to Pay". if you don't have a copy of this album, go get it.
