Paul Weller has unveiled In The Shadow Of The Sun, Paul Weller & Band Live & Very Direct, a new 31-track live album capturing the energy and spirit of his recent live performances.
Available digitally from 2 October, the collection showcases material from every stage of Weller’s remarkable career, spanning The Jam, The Style Council and his solo catalogue. The tracklist includes fan favourites such as “That’s Entertainment”, “Town Called Malice”, “The Eton Rifles”, “My Ever Changing Moods”, “Shout To The Top”, “Wild Wood” and “You Do Something To Me”, alongside a spirited rendition of Curtis Mayfield’s classic “Move On Up”.
Reflecting on the release, Weller explained that the recordings were taken directly from the soundboard to preserve the authenticity, atmosphere and connection shared between the band and audiences during the tour. The album aims to capture those moments as faithfully as possible, celebrating a series of performances that left a lasting impression on fans across the UK.
More than five decades into his career, the Modfather continues to prove why he remains one of Britain’s most respected and enduring artists. In The Shadow Of The Sun serves as both a celebration of his extensive musical legacy and a testament to the power of Weller’s live performances today.
