i've never heard of this guy but:
this is in today's Toronto SUN paper:

Weller's got it covered
By DARRYL STERDAN
Winnipeg Sun

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STUDIO 150
Paul Weller
(V2/BMG)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Love Paul Weller so much you'd listen to him sing the phone book? Now's your chance.

OK, not quite -- but on Studio 150, the former Jam master and Style Councilman does croon a veritable catalogue of covers. And not the Beatles and Kinks oldies you might expect.

Instead, Paul blows his smoky '70s soul and singer-songwriter stylings over everything from Dylan's All Along the Watchtower and Neil Young's Birds to Gordon Lightfoot's Early Morning Rain and The Carpenters' Close to You.

It's not as compelling as an album of originals would be, admittedly, but you can't accuse him of phoning it in.
