The British Invasion:  Soundtrack of Paul Weller

Program Page: The Long Play

Duration: 30min

Tonight: Paul Weller. Songwriter. Mod icon. Relentless craftsman. From The Jam to The Style Council and a solo career spanning decades, Weller has always worn his influences proudly — soul, psychedelia, punk, jazz, folk, and sharp British songwriting all woven into one unmistakable voice. For the next half-hour, we’ll explore the music that inspired Paul Weller and the distinct mod sound and the sounds that travelled here.
