Paul Weller and Robert Plant collaborate on ‘Clive’s Song’.
Paul Weller’s upcoming album ‘Find El Dorado’ will be released on July 25th, featuring a collection of re-imagined tracks that highlight significant influences in his modern music.
The lead single, ‘Lawdy Rolla,’ showcases Weller’s unwavering style without any major changes.
‘Clive’s Song’ reflects Weller’s growing appreciation for a group of folk and blues musicians from Britain and Ireland who rose to prominence in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Written by Clive Palmer, a founding member of the Incredible String Band, ‘Clive’s Song’ was originally given to Hamish Imlach, who included it in his 1971 album ‘Old Rarity’.
Now available, Paul Weller’s version features an extraordinary collaboration, with guest vocals from Led Zeppelin legend Robert Plant.
During the performance, Plant entertained the audience with stories of attending the American Folk Blues Festival in Birmingham Town Hall in 1967, where he saw Son House and Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, before joining in with his harmonica for the closing segment.
A stunning moment, you can watch it below.
