It says that Paul Weller was part of a punk / new wave band called The Jam. I am a bit mystified by the term 'Punk'. If I hadn't looked him up I would've thought he was part of the New Orleans / Nashville tourist scene. And I've tried listening to The Jam but couldn't get in to it. The Jam fits into the 80's Yuppie Thrash category. I do like PWs voice. As far as Wildwood goes, this is the perfect album to listen to while you go 37mph in a 35 zone.
