Paul Weller has released a new single.
Clive's Song, featuring Led Zeppelin legend Robert Plant, was originally written by singer-songwriter Clive Palmer for Scottish artist Hamish Imlach. Influenced by folk and blues music, the acoustic offering serves as the latest preview of the former Jam frontman's new Steve Cradock-produced covers album, 'Find El Dorado', due out through Parlophone on July 25. Weller said:
"Though the song remains relatively undiscovered, avowed folk and blues aficionado Robert Plant didn’t need persuading when Paul invited him to Black Barn for the resulting session.
"For fellow West Midlander, Steve Cradock, it all amounted to an indisputable highlight.
"Plant is a walking treasury of tales that stretch way back before Led Zeppelin. He regaled everyone present with tales of going to see Son House and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee when the American Folk Blues Festival reached Birmingham Town Hall in 1967."
Weller previously teased the record with new versions of the Bee Gees' I Started A Joke, Lawdy Rolla, originally by French band The Guerrillas, and Pinball by Brian Protheroe.
Weller's most recent studio album is 2024's '66'. His last collection of covers, 'Studio 150', arrived back in 2004 and included versions of Wishing On A Star, All Along The Watchtower, and The Carpenters' Close To You.
