Gone were the days of the Jam and the Style Council when Paul Weller released his second Solo album 'Wild Wood' in 1993. But as the Modfather entered middle age, what he retained from his youth was some of his pop-rock influences more evident in his earlier material in addition to the more soulful feel his music possessed during his Style Council days.
Weller's solo material started to move in a third direction; Wild wood begins with 'Sunflower' which is an aptly entitled opener for an album which has an overall summery vibe. It has a slightly psychedelic 60s feel to it.
The lyrics in several of this albums tracks possess an undeniable deep introspection; the opening track being no exception.
The title track 'Wild Wood' is a simple acoustic number which despite its clean production, somehow maintains a rawness not too disimilar to having Weller performing live in your lounge.
The album is interspersed with short instrumental fillers which have a slightly jazz-funk feel to them, and offer a lazy, melodic sigh between tracks. Fillers though they may be, the album would be undoubtedly lacking something without them.
'Country' is another pleasant acoustic track with a a very mellow feel. Together with tracks like 'Shadow of the Sun' and 'Moon on your Pyjamas' this really is an album to sit back and enjoy through the headphones as the sunshine pours in.
