never enough credit to the man steve cradock who is a true legend and a amazing musician, whom Paul has had by his side for many a year.

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Tony, pray its gotten a bit easier for you 3 more years on. Music can heal the hurting heart. I lost my best friend 15 years ago and one certain song makes me miss him like it was yesterday but somehow makes it better at the same time

[@michelledin2230]

I have heard this song by Canadian Gordon Lightfoot before but Paul Weller's rendition is especially sensitive and emotive - beautiful 😍

[@geoffg9362]

This song always puts a lump in my throat - your rendition is very moving, purposeful and touches my soul. Thank you Paul.

[@j62dangelo]

Great cover - raw, painful vocals...very authentic ! Big Fan

[@stephaniefinn6344]

Wonderful song, my Dad used to sing this to us and he was very pleased to head this version.

[@Skierguyca]

Great Gordon Lightfoot song, sung by another great songsmith.

[@Mr00dear]

Originally by Peter paul& Mary Weller is for me the beast version 😊👍🌻🌻

[@philipkremer1394]

@@Mr00dear Gordon Lightfoot wrote the song in 1964. Ian and Sylvia were the first to release it, in 1965. Peter, Paul, and Mary also released a version in 1965. Lightfoot himself released it in 1966 in his debut album, Lightfoot!

[@turdoirishman]

@@Mr00dear Sorry, not originally by P,P&M. Written by the great Gordon Lightfoot

[@yo-yotension4613]

There are many versions, all unique. The song is fantastic by great Canadian.

[@abigailgodfrey4778]

You ain't telling me craddock can't play

[@JHSTARKY1450]

not bad, but the best cover I've heard is Mick Iredale, a street busker

[@Suze2808]

@loui5ejack ditto :)

[@murdothescottie]

This is a beautiful interpretation of this song. But then anything Paul touches turns to pure gold!

[@CamanoRick]

So well done. What a masterpiece performance of a great song.

[@Lichtenstein1961]

Weller acoustic stuff is brill.

[@michaelcross2540]

PW does Gordon Lightfoot? Man... What a great version of this classic song!! Forever Weller.

[@iainrobb2875]

RIP Gordon Lightfoot.

[@tonyrice3348]

The first time I heard this was Weller, then I looked up who wrote it. Started listening to Gordon Lightfoot, wow what a genius

[@jeffwilliams2255]

RIP... Gordon Lightfoot

[@natalieholbrook4764]

Just love this, wellers voice is perfection for me ❤

[@flyerphil]

Amazing rendition of the classic Lightfoot song. Great vocal strength from Paul Weller, superb clarity. This sounds so good have played it at least 50 times Superb job, real professional, am sure GL would give the thumbs up

[@GabriellaDuchessaScalza]

Mr. God Weller!!! In my heart forever!

[@dougieturnbull7207]

This gentleman's music has been in my life since (in the city) and i will never stop listening nor loving

[@psibri1]

Indeed, since the Jam for me. My high school years were the 80's. I fell in love with The Style Council especially. The man is just as amazing live. I have been fortunate to see him 2x.

[@envyedern]

dougie turnbull same here, I remember the evening I got the album and sat listening with headphones on

[@Mod-rw9cw]

Nov 1978 Newcastle city hall was the first time I saw him live. I’d already seen the Angelic upstarts and the Clash, but The Jam and weller were miles ahead of them.

[@simonwilson5898]

Well said that man..

[@andrewmckeever552]

I was 15 when I bought In The City. My parents both heavily into music they took me to a record show nearby, 1989, i was already into that sort of scene but didnt know much about the Jam. It blew me away. I lived in a small town, the lone Mod. Paul Wellers music was a great thing to grow up with. And continue with throughout Style Council and Solo. Along with my parents' music collection, which included among a bunch of other stuff - gordon lightfoot, well rounded i think. For perspective, my mum ised ti see Lightfoot perform in The Village in Toronto, when he was starting out. Hippies didnt exist yet it was a folk and blues and bohemian scene. I mention this because she saw lightfopt live several times. When she heard Paul Wellers version, she said "that is well done". And thats as capital a compliment you can give really. And tha knk you for your comment. Sprry for the lengthy reply. I talk a lot. Take care.

[@njg4570]

Legend..... no other words are needed

[@keithparr547]

What a fanfuckintastic version this is. Love it!

[@kevinbird9194]

Top man singing top Don with Steve cCraddock playing a great supporting role. A classic combination

[@kieranbrennanmusic9261]

I sing this one. Like Gordon's original but like this more. I stick in a bit of harmonica.

[@seniornibbs1969]

i seen them.2003 colston hall great night

[@ericramos8126]

Weller should be considered in the same class as the all time greats! Song writer and a bad ass guitar player!

[@kevanbrown7620]

Great to hear Weller doing a Gordon Lightfoot song. I'm betting he first heard it on Bob Dylan's Self Portrait album.

[@johnflannery3535]

RIP🙏 Gordon Lightfoot 🖤🎸

[@barryh.4220]

i could take or leave Jam in their day , although there was no doubting their popularity ... and i came on here in a slightly sceptical frame of mind to listen to his version of this great song .... well i have to admit that this is not a bad version at all , he's done it justice, and i love the music arrangements too ... hats off to you Paul Weller!

[@callumstores7135]

people don't know what they are missing

[@zurlocker1]

A great rendition of a great song. Weller's influences are sometimes not obvious.

[@richardlee4730]

Love Paul's voice.

[@violetavikajeremic3932]

Beautiful song, thank u Weller , ILY !!

[@scouse2606]

I quite like Elvis Presley' version in the Aloha Sessions with John Wilkinson on guitar, they were using cue cards for the lyrics too.....

[@andrewgoldbergs4474]

Superb reading of a Lighttfoot epic..just another brilliant cover this man has chosen to create over a 40 plus year career.The Modfather..The Governor.

[@l.salisbury1253]

Gordon Lightfoot meets the Jam! Who knew...?

[@thekatie40]

song makes me cry

[@mikehowarth1183]

This is great but would be cool if he did a load of the some fantastic guitar songs ever written

[@flyerphil]

Weller with Pete Townshend live at the Albert Hall singing a very early Townshend composition "So Sad about You" What a great duet

[@judcitizen706]

Best version of EMR there is. What a voice...

[@frankmunich1881]

this is a perfect song sorry got all albums from him thx paul

[@BPVUploads]

Agree that PPM did a good version of this, but my all-time favorite is Ian and Sylvias off "Early Morning Rain" - the harmony is top-notch. That said, this is also very good. I will also admit that there may be a bit of "Grew up with that one" at play (vis Ian and Sylvia) . Eva Cassidy also did an awesome rendition of this one...

[@Lazkir]

I've listened to many versions of this song, I'm a big fan of Gordon Lightfoot, but I genuinley think Wellers version adds pathos and a little bit of je ne sais quoi to this that makes it special. Fantastic song, regardless of the version!

[@corneliusb_]

kudos to steve c as well. his playing surely does its bit to make this an outstanding version.

[@Gramrye]

Gordon Lightfoot ,,Legend ,,looks younder here though .

[@mcduffxyz]

i've always loved this tune. Would love find out more bout how Paul Weller came across it and did such a beautiful rendition of it.

[@frankhargreaves8370]

when I 'served my time'..starting from school in 1980 ? ...my gaffer (John Geraghty of Five Star Dry Cleaners on County Road, Liverpool).. ...lent me two Lightfoot LP's. I still have them. He still asks me for them back whenever I see him. :-) ..to be clear. We were engravers then. I don't do dry cleaning :-) I saw Cradock and Weller do this in New York. Just like this. In Virgin on Times Square. ...yes. Amazing x 3 of the best gigs, in a week, anybody ever did...and I ever did see x xx one love xx

[@ReggieMental]

I'm impressed that he did a Gordon Lightfoot song. You see, us Canadians have an inferiority complex.

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

No need to !

[@mcduffxyz]

Respect to all of In The Early Morning Rain.

[@dianescotter8089]

As my dad would say from the previous sun's shining I'll be out In the garden 👍❤️ x

[@martharichler6672]

Happy birthday @WellerWorld

[@tomkuwahara188]

Try the version by Ian and Sylvia where they actually sing the song and not so choppy as Mr. Weller. I will say the other guitarist is super fantastic.

[@dianescotter8089]

Just another day and another doller ❤️

[@thomasaylott7668]

Craddick is never far away

[@darry2675]

I met weller ,I followed him from Leeds Town n Country club 1993,it jus happened my car was outside near the tour bus.we followed the bus not knowing were it was going,laughing weeks jus about to turn round wen it turned into a hotel jus round the corner..we jumped out to meet Paul,wow what a Geezer just me n my mate Dave...he asked what we think of the new music,n if we like having a second guitarist etc..n have we heard of him.No we said,hes from OCS..we didn't know of them back then...what a Gig of the life craddock has ,lucky bastard...

[@dianescotter8089]

[@paulfallon45]

Brilliant , found this coming through my head phones wile stuck in a Spanish airport at 4am after a heavy weekend in Benidorm With the lads and all I wanted was home the lyrics were perfect I just couldn't stop replying it !

[@BrentwoodBoy53]

This is a very good cover, but let's not overlook Tony Rice's awesome bluegrass version. Pick up his CD of Lightfoot tunes, essential listening!

[@raymondscott8499]

Lovely Lovely version of this classic Lightfoot song.Great

[@sianwarwick633]

Thanks Paul Weller ❤ from Canada

[@marcus8768]

Cradock is wellers right hand man, probably plays guitar better than the man himself, allows weller to concentrate on this great vocal
