Wild Wood by Paul Weller

Rocker

Did Paul Weller record anything other than Wild Wood which crops up on (almost) every Acoustic compilation these days?  Wild Wood is a lovely piece, no disputing that, but did he produce anything else in the same vein?  I could Google the answer myself but I prefer to ask the experts....

Not really, no. 

But the Wild Wood album itself is fantastic.

Not sure but I like the song The Changingman, not the same thing as wild wood though.

Yeah. He's written a few acoustic tracks but a good starting point would be to but the Days of Speed album.

Foot of the mountain and Country on Wild Wood are pretty good too.

Also decent acoustic tunes not on DoS:





There's loads just YouTube Weller acoustic. I'll list some of the better ones IMO later...

This is true. Foot of the mountain works well as acoustic and electric - it's just a tune...

Yeah again not acoustic but I really like his version of 'Wishing On A Star'.

Point of order

Butterfly Collector was the B side of Strange Town, and it was actually a double A Side single, back in the days of vinyl.

I'd tend to think of English Rose.

@erictheweary

I associate English Rose with the phrase 'Tea and Toast by Calvin Most'

If you wonder why look on the sleeve of All Mod Cons
