Paul Weller - Shine On - Non-Album Tracks (2004-2005)

Here's yet another Paul Weller stray tracks album. The man is so prolific! As usual, I'm alternating between posting all acoustic albums and stray studio tracks. This is the latter.

In 2004, Weller put out the all cover versions album "Studio 150." The first six songs are a continuation of that. They're B-sides of singles from that album, and they're six more cover versions.

Then there are three songs Weller did live at a memorial concert for Ronnie Lane of the Small Faces and the Faces. Lane is one of Weller's musical heroes. He wrote a tribute song about Lane called "He's the Keeper." There's an acoustic version of it on the last Weller album I posted ("Tales from the Riverbank.")

The remaining four songs are mostly B-sides, with two more covers. So there are only two Weller originals on this album. But all the songs sound uniquely Weller, as usual.

By the way, the version of "Come Together" here is different from the one he did in 1995 as part of the Mojo Filters, a one-off band with Paul McCartney and Noel Gallagher.  This one is just Weller.
