Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings

Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings - Struttin' Our Stuff - 1997 - BMG

“Struttin' Our Stuff” was the first studio album from Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings founded and led by former Rolling Stones bass guitarist Bill Wyman, together with his lifelong musical partner Terry Taylor, and is a great energetic collection of jazz, blues, R&B, and Rock & Roll. The Rhythm Kings are well known for their great live touring performances throughout Europe and the United Kingdom. Bill Wyman has explained that "The whole idea behind the band was to play music that we love, and I think you can hear and feel that on our records. It's also great to work with people I've known for many years”. There are a number of fine moments here, including great covers of CCR’s "Green River", John D. Loudermilk’s classic R&B "Tobacco Road", the jive tune 'Jitterbug Boogie' and the slow Blues 'Bad To Be Alone'.There are many famous guest appearences from music greats that include Gary Brooker, Eric Clapton, Albert Lee, Peter Frampton, Georgie Fame, Beverley Skeete, Paul Carrack and many more. An enjoyable and not too heavy set of great songs covering the late ‘50’s to the late ‘90’s period. Bill Wyman may not be the world’s greatest vocalist, but he’s a legendary figure in the history and development of rock, and this album is HR by A.O.O.F.C.
