Bill Wyman's Blues Odyssey

£19.99

Released: 17th July 2020. The Rolling Stones were named after a song by Blues legend Muddy Waters, and Bill Wyman is keen to point out that the group's second Number 1 UK hit was a Blues song, Howlin' Wolf's 'Little Red Rooster'. Bill has always been a fan of the Blues, and in 2001, using his knowledge and love of the genre, he put together this 2 CD set of his own favourites, tracing the history of the Blues. The forty-six tracks are arranged chronologically, and include a track from every important, seminal and influential Blues artist. Amongst the tracks are the originals of songs like 'Baby Please Don't Go', 'Matchbox' and 'Spoonful', songs that were so important to the development of rock 'n' roll, and of rock music in the UK. Aside from the Stones, Eric Clapton in both the Yardbirds and Cream, Fleetwood Mac, The Animals, John Mayall and Led Zeppelin were all great aficionados - Led Zeppelin notably including Blues covers on their first four albums. The DVD features a 110 minute documentary on the history of the Blues presented by Clarke Peters, (Lester Freamon in The Wire TV series), and writer of the book for the musical 'Five Guys Named Moe'. The entertaining and informative programme features Bill Wyman giving his take on the importance of the genre, talking with many of the blues greats. The programme includes contributions from a host of legendary performers, and interviews with B.B. King, Sam Phillips, Buddy Guy, Taj Mahal, Mick Fleetwood, Otis Rush, Albert Lee, Mike Love of The Beach Boys, Wilson Pickett, Clarence Fountain of The Blind Boys of Alabama, Lazy Lester, Big Bill Morganfield (Muddy Waters' son), Rosetta Patton (Charley Patton's daughter), Guy Davis and Gary Brooker of Procol Harum.
