Paul Weller Turns DJ for Vintage Soul Compilation
10/30/2009 By Josiah Hughes

Paul Weller has had one busy career. Following his tenure fronting the Jam and the Style Council, the 51-year-old Brit has enjoyed a long and fruitful solo run. Now, Weller can add DJ to his resume, with the release of a new classic soul compilation early next year.

Titled Lost & Found: Real R'n'B and Soul, the collection sees the legend commonly known as “the Modfather” team up with renowned Northern soul DJ Keb Darge for the double album. The record collects long-lost soul tracks from the '50s and '60s, with Darge compiling “Side A” and Weller taking the reins on “Side B.”

Lost and Found is due in UK stores on January 18. No word on a North American release yet, but even if it's a digital release only, we'll be happy.

Weller is also planning to release Wake Up the Nation, his tenth solo album, some time in 2010. Lost & Found: Real R'n'B and Soul:

In the middle of an open field, you can hear music from everywhere, particularly the DJ stage situated in the centre. Almost 200 bands have gathered here to play on seven stages, each only about 100 metres from the next, causing sound to bleed all over. For veteran music fans, it's a familiar scene: scantily clad women offer Red Bull and vodka, dreadlocked white hippies entrance themselves with their spin-dancing, and if you don't like a given band, more options are only an aimless wander away....
