The Modfather Paul Weller is to release compilation of radio sessions recorded at the BBC between 2008-2024, “Weller At The BBC Vol. 2” will feature songs spanning the 67-year-old singer/songwriter’s career, between 2008-2024, from reworked takes on classic songs by The Jam and The Style Council through to his acclaimed solo career, and will includes Weller’s unique interpretations of songs by artists as diverse as Billie Eilish and The Kinks.
This second BBC outing gathers live session and live in concert performances, including intimate stripped back acoustic versions and re-workings of tracks across The Jam, The Style Council and Paul’s extensive solo career.
From timeless classics such as “Start!”, “Shout To The Top” and “Wild Wood”, to deep cuts and covers, like The Zombies’ “Time Of The Season” and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?“
The album also features some beautifully orchestrated tracks with the London Metropolitan Orchestra, arranged and conducted by Hannah Peel, including “Aspects”, and “Have You Ever Had It Blue”.
It also includes “When Your Garden’s Overgrown” and “Boy About Town” as featured on the limited edition seven inch single he’ll release on Record Store Day, April 18.
As denoted by its title, the album is the follow up to Weller’s 2008 compilation Weller at the BBC, which brought together BBC performances recorded between 1990 – 2008.
