About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Paul Weller deservedly regained his status as the Modfather with his second solo album, Wild Wood. Actually, the album is only tangentially related to mod, since Weller picks up on the classicism of his debut, adding heavy elements of pastoral British folk and Traffic-styled trippiness. Add to that a yearning introspection and a clean production that nevertheless feels a little rustic, even homemade, and the result is his first true masterwork since ending the Jam. The great irony of the record is that many of the songs -- "Has My Fire Really Gone Out?," "Can You Heal Us (Holy Man)" -- question his motivation and, as is apparent in his spirited performances, he reawakened his music by writing these searching songs. Though this isn't as adventurous as the Style Council, it succeeds on its own terms, and winds up being a great testament from an artist entering middle age. And, it helped kick off the trad rock that dominated British music during the '90s. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

July 31, 2001: This is a musical gem. After a disappointing first album in 1992, Wild Wood is one of those few albums in which every song is well crafted. It demonstrates Weller's talent in abundance, after years of waiting for a guitar based album during the Style Council years. There are hints of spiritual rebirth here, in (Can You Heal Us) Holy Man and Has My Fire Really Gone Out? One also can't help feeling The Jam would have been at home playing the opening track Sunflower. Acoustic songs such as Country and All The Pictures On The Wall are also new territory for Weller, finely tuned with genuine depth of feeling. The only disappointment is the last track, Moon On Your Pyjamas, which ensures the album will never reach the heights of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks.
