Paul Weller - Gravity - Non-Album Acoustic Tracks (2010-2014)

I'm finally getting kind of close to current day with my Paul Weller stray tracks albums ; just a few more to go. This one is another all-acoustic affair, covering 2010 to 2014.

The first three songs are B-sides. The rest are all unreleased. Most are acoustic versions of songs from his recent albums, though there are exceptions, such as his cover of the Zombies hit "Time of the Season." The sound quality on "Waterloo Sunset" is a little below the others, but it's worth it for this rare duet between Weller and Ray Davies of the Kinks, the writer of the song.

Three of the songs near the end come from the same 100 Club concert. Unfortunately, the sound quality on those are also a bit below the rest. But Weller does some really interesting songs, including an acoustic version of the Motown classic "Heat Wave" (also once done by Weller's old band The Jam) so I figured had to include them.

Note that one of the songs here is "Gravity," which has appeared on his 2018 album "True Meanings." But as this album shows, the song was performed in concert (once) all the way back in 2013.
