Find El Dorado - Album Release Day
Paul Weller’s new album Find El Dorado, out today via Parlophone, is a reflective, quietly radical covers record reinterpreting tracks discovered through late-night listening, friends’ recommendations, and crate-digging, now given a home in his voice. Produced by Steve Cradock, it features intimate yet polished arrangements and contributions from Declan O’Rourke, Amelia Coburn, Noel Gallagher, Seckou Keita, Robert Plant, Hannah Peel and others. The album opens with Richie Havens’ haunting ‘Handouts In The Rain’ and journeys through obscurities like ‘Daltry Street’ and ‘One Last Cold Kiss’, reimagined classics such as ‘I Started A Joke’ and ‘Nobody’s Fool’, and finishes as an act of listening and reflection. It reveals Weller’s enduring creativity – a glimpse into the five-decade journey told in full in my upcoming authorised oral history Paul Weller: Dancing Through the Fire, out 11 September, featuring unheard stories and voices from across his remarkable life.Find podcast show notes and sign up for regular information at PaulWellerFanPodcast.com Hosted on Acast.
