Paul Weller - Wild Wood - 1993 - Ep. 32

Another 30th Anniversary episode for the Memorabilia Podcast, and this time it's 'The Modfather' Paul Weller and his second solo album release from September 1993, the Mercury Music Prize nominated 'Wild Wood'. The critically acclaimed record signalled his return to favour after the Style Council's fall in popularity at the end of the 80's, and the mixed reaction to his first solo release, 1992's 'Paul Weller'. We discover Weller's pathway into his musical journey with the Jam, through to working on this album with a number of familiar musicians to help him out along the way.

Our Top 3's this week are tree related songs! It gets a little contentious, but there are some belting selections amongst our picks, including The Beatles, Radiohead, The Presidents of the USA, and The National.
