Description

66 is the 17th solo album from Paul Weller, marking his 66th journey around the sun, it is quite a reflective and inward thinking album that pulls back the camera lens and shines a light on the way Wellers creativity interacts with his wider world.

The 12 songs on 66 were worked up in Wellers Black Barn studio over the course of three years with a host of guest musicians. In the recent past, Paul has been an enthusiastic collaborator, but 66 feels like the most fully-realised celebration of that process. Here, there are lyrical contributions from an esteemed roll-call including Suggs, Noel Gallagher and Bobby Gillespie (Ship Of Fools, Jumble Queen and Soul Wondering respectively).
