Known as 'The Modfather' and one of the most revered writers and performers of the past five decades, Paul Weller shares his final two songs on Tracks Of My Years.

From starting out as frontman of the influential bands The Jam and The Style Council, Paul kick-started a successful solo career in the early 90s, and is now rightly hailed as one of the most influential and inventive figures in modern British music.

He鈥檚 released 28 albums to date, and Paul鈥檚 17th solo album '66' was released earlier in the summer to huge acclaim. Following his recent UK dates, he鈥檚 off on his first North American tour in seven years in September, as well as another UK run in October and November.
