On occasion, Paul Weller He had commented that he would love to work with the very Robert Plantlegendary vocalist of Zeppelin LED and responsible for a long later career. And that desire has become a reality with “Clive’s Song”.
On July 25 you will see the light “Find el Dorado”the album in which Paul Weller yields new accounts with his past versioning songs of the sixties and seventies, and of which we have already heard several advances.
This new single, “Clive’s Song”, the fourth advance, has the collaboration of Robert Plant and reflects Weller’s fascination for the Vanguardia Folk and the blues emerged in England and Ireland of past decades. In fact, the song was written by Clive Palmer (Founder of Incredible String Band) for Hamish Imlach who would record her on her album “Old Rarity” (1971).
