Paul Weller has shared the fourth single from his forthcoming album Find El Dorado.
The track Features Robert Plant, "Clive's Song" reflects Paul's
escalating fascination with the vanguard of folk and blues artists who
emerged in Britain and Ireland in the 1960s and early 1970s. Clive
Palmer – founding member of Incredible String Band – wrote "Clive's
Song" for Hamish Imlach, who recorded it on his 1971 album Old Rarity. Though
the song remains relatively undiscovered, avowed folk and blues
aficionado Robert Plant didn't need persuading when Paul invited him to
Black Barn Studio for the resulting session. For fellow West Midlander,
Steve Cradock, it all amounted to an indisputable highlight. Plant is a
walking treasury of tales that stretch way back before Led Zeppelin. He
regaled everyone present with tales of going to see Son House and Sonny
Terry & Brownie McGhee when the American Folk Blues Festival reached
Birmingham Town Hall in 1967. And then when the music started, he and
Paul swapped between harmonies and lead vocals, pausing only for Robert
to grab one of many harmonicas he had brought with him and unleash a
solo that billows through the song like a gust front through a wheat
field.
