Bargain Rack Merchandise,

At best, this CD is lackluster. If you want some good Bill Wyman, check out Willy and the Poor Boys. This CD is a terrible disappointment, and not worth buying. Believe me, Bill Wyman can do a lot better than this.

No pretense here!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stone Alone (Audio CD)
For me, Bill Wyman was always hands-down the coolest Stone. Granted he sat out half their recording sessions, and was virtually immobile onstage---but it was the WAY he was immobile! In any case, the then forty year old Wymans 1976 release is refreshingly free of pretense. This artist knows he is not an artiste, and is happy to have fun with some excellent sidemen recording a few earthy wine and wimmen' ditties. For Wyman fans mostly.

Thanks Bill,

A beautiful artifact perfectly molded from its era like an old hockey mask. This man is a seasoned pro then and now, and can he ever find a groove!! "Apache Woman" will conger images of Brando's girl at the Oscars while "Feet" and "Every 60 Seconds" will stop James Montgomery in mid sentence. This album will always have a place in history. Wyman cooks and flavors blues like a master.

Improving, but not much,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stone Alone (Audio CD)
On his second solo effort, Bill moves away from the Beggar's Banquet-ish country rock and into an R&B style that he would later revive with The Rhythm Kings. He does some great covers of Quarter to Three and If You Wanna Be Happy. Everything else pretty much remains the same as Monkey Grip - Bill's tuneless vocals, a stellar supporting cast, and double entendre lyrics. Exercise caution when buying this, chances are you won't like it unless you make an effort to look past the flaws.

You Better Move On,
By John M. Pugliese, Jr. (Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stone Alone (Audio CD)
What do Jeff Beck, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Bill Wyman have in common?...........THEY CAN'T SING!! Yes the music on this, Monkey Grip Glue, and the self titled album is decent. But to ask people to overlook the singing on a rock'n'roll record is like asking someone to overlook the brass in a marching band, you can't do it. If you're looking for a good solo album by a bass player head for Ronnie Lane, John Entwistle, or Sting.
