i've never heard of this guy but:
this is in today's Toronto SUN paper: Weller's got it covered By DARRYL STERDAN Winnipeg Sun -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STUDIO 150 Paul Weller (V2/BMG) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Love Paul Weller so much you'd listen to him sing the phone book? Now's your chance. OK, not quite -- but on Studio 150, the former Jam master and Style Councilman does croon a veritable catalogue of covers. And not the Beatles and Kinks oldies you might expect. Instead, Paul blows his smoky '70s soul and singer-songwriter stylings over everything from Dylan's All Along the Watchtower and Neil Young's Birds to Gordon Lightfoot's Early Morning Rain and The Carpenters' Close to You. It's not as compelling as an album of originals would be, admittedly, but you can't accuse him of phoning it in. |

Well,Charlene..as long as he didn't take anything away from the true feeling of the song,I'd more than likely lok for it and buy it if it's available here in the states.
Hope also that like anyone who does a cover version,he's a true fan and not just an artist doing a cover for the sake of covering it. Thanks for the clue in! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif ------------------ "A knight of the road,going back to a place where he might get warm." ;) - Borderstone |
Paul Weller has a big following in the UK.
This cd is something new for him |
I've only listened to the song online once, but I actually like his rendition of Early Morning Rain, a lot - can't say the same for what he did with Close To You http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Thought this had a familiar ring to it. A quick search found the following post from Jim Nasium last year.
Just checked the Top 40 here in the UK and Paul Weller has come in at 40 with Early Morning Rain. And for all you Tony Christie fans, he is No 1 with 'Is This The Way To Amerillo? |
