Bill Wyman - Stone Alone

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.

You Better Move On

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. January 7, 2004

If you don't like this album than stick with Matchbox 20

I don't think this album is for everyone...however for the real music lover this is a bona-fide treat. Solo efforts by the Bill's old partners in crime (The Glimmer Twins) for the most part are just what you might expect, the always sly Wyman throws a curve. The musicians range from Dr. John to Van Morrison to Joe Walsh to Al Kooper and some cat named Ronnie Wood. Just a bunch of guys having fun, jamming. From covers to orginals it's an album that's fun, never formula or commercial. There's the sexy sounding "Peanut Butter Time," the blusey orginal (re-worked on the 2nd Rhythm Kings disc)"Every Sixty Seconds" and the rockin' "Wine And Wimmen." Bill himself is a true music fan and that's what this and all three of Bill's first solo efforts are about. Slap it on at a party and watch the toes start tapping. As a huge Stones fan who owns all their stuff including solo efforts by Keith, Woody and both Mick's I find myself returning to Bills goodies often...a Stone alone indeed! April 18, 2001

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. September 8, 2000

Improving, but not much

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. December 30, 1999
