Paul Weller and Steve Cradock and one of the stops on their record store tour to promote Studio 150. I'm not sure of the origin of this recording. There are a few songs missing, but it definitely sounds like it's perhaps from the radio or Internet feed. I'm a big fan of Studio 150 and especially the acoustic renditions. Often I think he should just do an all acoustic record. His voice, at this stage, is so gruff and bluesy. I'd much rather hear it in that setting than barking through songs like "Floorboards." But, that's just my taste. At any rate, this one is a good performance. Cradock starts singing "Headstart" which I don't think happens often, if ever.
