Whispers From The Woods - Uton

Advantages: The third cycle of Weller's career
Disadvantages: It's a far cry from The Jam and The Style Council...

...Being an avid fan of The Jam then naturally drifting into the cool romantic sounds of The Style Council, I was always apprehensive about Paul Weller out on his own.
