Album Notes Personnel: Paul Weller (vocals, guitar, strings, harmonica, piano, Hammond organ, Mellotron, Moog, bass, percussion); Steve Craddock, Robert Howard, Dave Liddle (guitar); Jacko Peake (flute, horns); Helen Turner (organ); Mick Talbot (Hammond organ); Max Beesley (Wurlitzer, percussion, background vocals); Brendan Lynch (MiniMoog, Mellotron, Stylophone, percussion); Marco Nelson (bass, background vocals); Yolanda Charles (bass); Steve White (drums); Dee C. Lee, Simon Fowler (background vocals).Recorded at The Manor, Oxford, England from April to May, 1993.Arguably Weller's best solo album, and certainly the one where all his influences first congealed into something uniquely his own. WILD WOOD's template would once again seem to be Traffic--Weller's surprisingly soulful vocals most often recall a gruffer version of Steve Winood, and there's even a jazz flute in the concluding "Holy Man" jam. Weller's songs however, are not so easily pigeonholed; an achingly beautiful acoustic ballad like "Country," for example, owes a stylistic debt to no one except its composer.

The whole album has a great mood to it throughout. From the pure energy of Sunflower to the mellow acoustic tones of Wild Wood - the band is totally together and you realise that these musicians are working together and not laying down one track on top of another. Anyone that cannot find a place for this album in their collection needs to be tested. If this is the only album you buy from Paul Weller it would be worth it....but believe me...you'll be back for more! I gave my own copy away to someone that was totally taken by it .... but I had to replace it fast...it's that good! Review ID: 10000000001292733 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
