Album Description Paul Weller has been making vital music, whether during his time with The Jam, Style Council or solo, for well over two decades in his ever-changing career. His latest studio album Illumination went straight into the UK charts at number one and many critics hailed it as his best work in years. Equally his collection of B sides and rarities Fly On The Wall recently had a welcome release and he has just signed a new deal with V2. Paul?s music has evolved over the years, and his Under the Influence selection shows the varied artists that have helped to shape the Weller style. From the rock ?n? roll of Little Richard to the roots of Ritchie Havens, from the reggae of The Wailers to the soul of Marvin Gaye, Under the Influence Paul Weller helps to understand what inspires the man and makes him tick.

CD ReviewsGood collection, but a bit misleading Kenneth French | Montclair, NJ | 01/08/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "From looking at the cover of this CD, you'd think it was a Paul Weller album. It's not. What we have here is Weller's choice of 16 tracks by artists who have influenced him. Confusing matters further is that Weller is apparently working on a covers album at the moment (according to paulweller.com).Not that this is a bad record--far from it. The mix of rock 'n' roll, soul, funk, reggae, and jazz shows how far-reaching Weller's influences are. His liner notes are clever and informative (he mentions that he deliberately left out the Beatles and the Small Faces, since those influences are obvious in his music). And like all great compilations, this one leaves the listener wanting to hear more from these artists.He just should have titled it more clearly (e.g., "Paul Weller presents..." or "Chosen by Paul Weller"?)." Great insight behind Weller's Music Peter R. Fischer | LA LA Land, USA | 04/09/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "I love albums like this. Just like listening to the collection of songs that Tricky selected on "Back to Mine", listening to this album gives you insight into what makes Weller's own music sound like it does. This album combines tunes by various musicians who have influenced Weller from generes such as jazz, funk and rock (and more) which makes sense because they all come out in Weller's own tunes. If you are like me, and have all the diverse tastes as your own, you will really appreciate this compilation both as an insight into Paul Weller and also as a really cool mix CD on its own."
