Paul Weller - Reason to Believe - Non-Album Acoustic Tracks (1994-1995)

More Paul Weller! The last album I posted is of Weller's stray tracks from 1993 to 1995. This basically covers the same time period, but it's only all acoustic songs.

The songs on this album generally fall into three categories: acoustic versions of songs from the 1993 "Wild Wood" album, acoustic versions from the 1995 "Stanley Road" album, and six cover songs. There also are one or two songs from the other stray tracks albums from this time period.

If you put it all together, it's a fairly long album of 56 minutes. I would have liked to split it up into two albums, one covering the "Wild Wood" era and the other covering the "Stanley Road" album, but there just wasn't enough material for that. Both albums have some mellow songs that work well acoustically, but both also have rockers that Weller seems to have never played in acoustic format.

Anyway, I love good acoustic music, and this is Weller in his prime, so you should give it a listen.
