Paul Weller & Graham Coxon - This Old Town

PAUL WELLER & GRAHAM COXON
‘THIS OLD TOWN’ / ‘EACH NEW MORNING’ / ‘BLACK RIVER’

The latest single from the Regal Singles Club has to be one of the most exciting musical unions of recent times. The mere thought of rock legend Paul Weller and guitar genius Graham Coxon joining forces to write and record together couldn’t fail to excite even the most cynical of music fans. Well they’ve done it. And the fruits of their labours will be available digitally on July 2nd followed by a limited edition 7” on July 30th.

Both artists really need no introduction. Since his days as front-man of The Jam and Style Council, Paul Weller has carved out an incredibly successful solo career. Graham Coxon has also had an illustrious and successful solo career since he left Blur several years ago.

Talking about the collaboration, Graham said "As a long time admirer of Paul I never dared imagine getting a chance to work with him so I was bricking it when we first met...but he is an absolute gent and a shockingly great singer and musician. It’s been a total pleasure." Paul returned the compliment saying “I’ve always been a big fan of Grahams and love his work so it was exciting for me to work on something new with him."

Lead track “This Old Town” is a Coxon/Weller collaboration. “Each New Morning” is a Graham Coxon composition, while “Black River” was written by Paul Weller. All tracks were produced by the duo and engineered by Charles Rees. Drumming on “This Old Town” courtesy of Zak Starkey.
