Never was a big Jam fan (preferred Style Council years), which is the roots of Mr Weller, who is out with his 10th solo album. Paul has always been a much more popular artist across the pond than here.
To remain relevant after this many years in the biz deserves some recognition, and he's done that. This album features contributions from fellow Jam band member Bruce Foxton. The album barely gets a passing grade from me, with a few good tracks.
