Title: Bill Wyman new album - 12 songs and only voice, guitar, bass and drums
Post by Voodoo Chile in Wonderland on Jun 4^th, 2023 at 2:07pm

In a recent interview by Diego Perri for "Diario el Clarin" (Argentina) Bill Wyman informed this

Yes. I have a new solo record ready with the mix finished, which is now being mastered. An album of 12 songs. Unlike the previous ones, this one is only with voice, guitar, bass and drums.

Special thanks to Emotional from our message board in Spanish

Full interview there, it's "SUBSCRIBERS EXCLUSIVE" so it's not on the net, but Emotional posted it here https://rocksoff.org/foroes/index.php/topic,14282.0.html

I'm looking forward to this, although his original songs and vocals are generally big letdowns. I think someone on the Rockman forum had an interview with Guy Fletcher where it said that he was producing it.

It's kinda cool to know he's also still actively making new music, not just guesting with the Stones for one song on HD, cause he's like 86 now, so if things hopefully keep going all well as they are, there is still some more time left for Mick, Keith and Ronnie as well to be some more prolific as they clearly hope and want to be, judging from that new interview with Mick

Dodgy lyrics and vocals, but still sounds so good. Curious who's playing on it. The musicianship is fantastic. I really miss him playing bass.
