Shout to the Top

~ My Son’s First Favorite Song ~

I’ve been a fan of Paul Weller since the mid-80s when I saw a Style Council video on an MTV videotape that was sent to me while I was living in Germany. Cafe Blue was the soundtrack to a great birthday weekend trip that my wife and I took up the California coast one year.

Their greatest hits exude cool.

This track was mixed in with several others on a CD I used to keep in my old convertible and my son used to ask for me to play this one over and over when he was about 3 years old and cruising around in his car seat with the car top down. It’s a rock song with a string section as the lead instrument and it’s a perfect slice of heavenly britpop with the Modfather smoothly crooning over the top.

Thanks for checking out Six Degrees of Radio, and grooving along. If you don’t give this article the finger, or, y’know… a thumb, then I don’t know if you’re digging it or not.
