Paul Weller "the ballad of Jimmy McCabe"

first track lifted from his new album due in March...
not a studio album but a soundtrack to a boxing movie
made in the UK called Jawbone....
pleasant folky acoustic track here, way better than the crap he's
released on his last two or three album...

Now this is a genuine specimen of that much misused term "ballad". A song that tells a story about a person.

I found it a fairly boring tune though. Although the treatment is folk, the melody is more like pure country, i.e. pretty simple and predictable.

I liked it ! "Predictable" is a good description of today's music !
