Album Notes & Community Reviews
Stepping out from his role as bassist for The Rolling Stones, Bill Wyman became the first member of the band to release a solo studio album. Assisted by an elite crew of session players including Leon Russell and Dr. John, the record delivers a remarkably relaxed, unpretentious slice of 1970s pop-rock.
