Paul Weller covers Christy Moore song on new album
Paul Weller has recorded a cover version of Christy Moore's song One Last Cold Kiss on his new covers album, which also features collaborations with Declan O'Rourke, Robert Plant, and Noel Gallagher. Find El Dorado is out on 25 July and sees Weller cover songs by The Kinks, The Bee Gees, and The Flying Burrito Brothers and collaborations with Hannah Peel, Seckou Keita, and Amelia Coburn. One Last Cold Kiss was written by songwriters Gail Collins and Felix Pappalardi and appeared on Moore's 1999 Traveller album and has previously been covered by American rock band Mountain. The 15-track album, which was partially recorded in Weller's own Black Barn Studio in Surrey, is described as "a deeply personal new album of reinterpretations. Drawing on a lifetime of listening, the record sees Weller revisit songs that have long lived in the back of his mind - now reimagined with fresh meaning and a sense of reverence". Speaking about Find El Dorado, the former front man of The Jam said, "These are songs I've carried with me for years. They've taken on new shapes over time. And now felt like the moment to share them." It also marks Weller's return to Parlophone Records, the label behind his critically acclaimed run of albums from 2015 to 2019. The tracklisting for Find El Dorado is: Handouts in the Rain (Richie Havens) Small Town Talk (Bobby Charles) El Dorado (Eamon Friel) White Line Fever (The Flying Burrito Brothers) One Last Cold Kiss (Christy Moore) When you are a King (White Plains) Pinball (Brian Protheroe) Where there's Smoke, There's Fire (Willie Griffin) I Started a Joke (Bee Gees) Never the Same (Lal and Mike Waterson) Lawdy Rolla (The Guerrillas) Nobody's Fool (The Kinks) Journey (Duncan Browne) Daltry Street (Jake Fletcher / PP Arnold) Clive's Song (Hamish Imlach)
