Product info

Back To Basics does exactly what it says on the sleeve. It is<br/>unashamedly stripped back. The snappy lyrics are refreshingly<br/>audible and the instrumentation is clean, subtle and accomplished.<br/>Bill Wyman's first solo album in 33 years wears its influences on<br/>its sleeve - Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, JJ Cale - and there's<br/>more than a passing nod to Bill's own English background. It is<br/>that rare thing, a melt of styles and genres that actually work<br/>together - uplifting in a jaunty, dancey way and pensive in a<br/>bluesy, narrative way.<br/><br/>Bill Wyman's last solo UK album, Bill Wyman, was released in<br/>1982. Back To Basics comprises only his fourth UK solo release.<br/>But Bill has not been idle of course. 31 years in the Rolling Stones,<br/>author of seven learned books, globally exhibited photographer,<br/>metal detecting expert with his own brand of metal detector,<br/>producer, composer for film and TV and founder of the very<br/>successful Rhythm Kings who release albums and tour regularly<br/>- he has had a pretty full calendar. It was only when archiving old<br/>demos last year he realised he had around 60 songs he'd never<br/>released. He chose three songs that needed reworking and did<br/>just that. He put them together with brand new songs and went<br/>into his studio to record them. The album comprises 12 tracks in<br/>total, eight of which are new songs. Musicians joining Bill in the<br/>studio include long-time collaborator/guitarist Terry Taylor, Guy<br/>Fletcher (Mark Knopfler), Graham Broad and Robbie McIntosh<br/>while co-production credit goes to Andy Wright (Jeff Beck,<br/>Eurythmics, Simply Red).
