P. Weller’s poetry has always been a precious example of an outstanding gift. Deeply rooted in universal ideas and emotions. Resulted in masterpieces from the very beginning. This is just the one I love the best. So powerful and humane!

[@wayneblanchard97]

Yolanda Charles on bass, Steve White on drums, Steve Craddock on guitar... Such a big part of Weller's sound and his ability to achieve his songs the way he heard them in his mind. Also, Yolanda always plays with such a great, relaxed yet compelling groove, so Weller could do his soulful thing with ease. And this is such a great tune!

[@stevesincock842]

Wayne Blanchard She's a fantastic player. Would love to work with her. One of the best bass players around.
