Great song- a lot of the soupy, swampy mix has to be credited to Brendan Lynch, who produced Weller's early albums (I imagine he produced this one). Very compact sound, very good. Weller did a show on Greater London Radio for a couple of hours, which featured a quarter of an hour of Lynch's mixing, which is one of my favourite DJ sets (don't look for it, it's on a C90 in my cupboard...) "We do it with smoke and mirrors, Paul". Genius.

Coco was headlining an after party at Jazzfest 2011. What a trip! Guy was trashed out of his mind, but woke up and played some mean blues when up on prch with the other musicians. The party was more memorable than the jazzfest itself- it was REAL!
This somewhat apocryphal story of Coco's death was told to me by a good friend who is a semi-regular at the Apple Barrel, where Coco was a fixture at the bar. The bar tender turned around to find Coco with his head on the bar, and shook him and asked if he was all right. Coco raised his head and one finger, declared "next round's on me!", and fell over dead.
Working my schedule for the second weekend of JazzFest right now! In Dr. John's take on this song, he mentions CoCO Robichaux - who I used to share a rooftop with in the Marigny (a New Orleans neighborhood) over Cafe Brasil. Coco was a shaman and musician, supposedly the inspiration for Dr. John's much freakier recording. Thanks for helping me get stoked!

I would think "gild" is correct. To gild something is to cover it in a thin layer of gold. A guild is an association of people with similar interests or skills. That does not make sense in this context.
Although I agree with your conclusion, I think Dr. John spelled it "guilded" on his original recording.
Is it Gilded or Guilded? I know this song from Widespread Panic covering it (awesome baseline) but the WSP camp has this as Guilded, while RP has this song as Gilded. Either way, catchy.

Not nearly enough (by a long shot) Weller on RP. Live,he's as good as he ever was and his current work is superb.So different from one song to the other, dig that funky edgy thing

Anyone remember the cover of this song by The Flower Pot Men in the 80s? I can never any info on them or their cover. It was really good really different, much more rockin'.
I do like this, first time hearing, but it is a little ploddy.
