Revolutionary Reggae
Compiled by Paul Weller
Woking Man's Dub

"These tunes remind of the days of 1977. I always loved rocksteady/reggae from my early suedehead days bit I got heavily into the sounds of the reggae of '77. Lee Perry's the key man in a lot of the production and sound from that time. Absolute Genius. He produced Junior Murvin and Max Romeo at the time.

Straight on to Babylon."

As he passes the half-century mark, Weller easily could have returned to his old stomping grounds, whether it was the mod-punk of his first band the Jam or the pop leanings of the Style Council. But rather than reliving past glory, Weller spent the last year recording 22 Dreams, the most expansive and experimental album of his career. “I was conscious when I walked into the studio that I wanted to do something different. I didn’t want to make As Is Now Part 2,” Weller tells Rock Daily. “There was this mentality where it was like, ‘Let’s try anything that comes into your mind.’” Weller sequestered himself in his country studio, recruited some famous Britpop friends like Oasis‘ Noel Gallagher and Blur’s Graham Coxon and spent hours improvising with his band.
