I always enjoyed Monkey Grip. What A Blow was co-written with Dr John and the whole album had a stellar line up of musicians:
Bill Wyman - lead vocals, bass guitar, guitar, piano, clavinet, Jew's harp, horn arrangements
Dr. John - organ, piano
Gwen McCrae - backing vocals
Leon Russell - piano
Betty Wright - backing vocals
Mark Colby - saxophone
Lowell George - guitar (5, 14)
John McEuen - acoustic guitar, banjo, dobro, mandolin
Byron Berline - fiddle
Neal Bonsanti - English horn, saxophone, clarinet
Abigale Haness - backing vocals
Hubert Heard - organ, piano
Danny Kortchmar - guitar
Joe Lala - percussion
Joey Murcia - guitar
Wayne Perkins - guitar

Say what you like about Monkey Grip and its musicians, but Bill's best album is his third known as Bill Wyman.
That's how he got all his "girls"..... mmmmmm.... soft whispering in their earsQuote

This is a pretty good song from what was otherwise a horrible album. I wish he would have stuck to just releasing this as a singl...really Monkey Grip is stunningly bad. Not even a great band can save it from the cheese whizz. Sounds like the sound track to a soft core porn movie. A really bad one. Emannuel.

I don't think Bill ever wrote something as good as My Wife or The Quiet One by Entwistle. And can't be compared to George Harrison with the Beatles.
He was, at best, and adequate bass player, rarely having to add anything too complex or difficult to a song, studio of live.
On his solo work, I could never get by his vocals. Unlistenable to me. I am sure I am in the minority here, but I prefer Darryl's playing to Bill's by a mile.

And there is a lot on Black And Blue waiting to be substituted by Stone Alone.

Bills LAST album, from a few months ago, is his best. It's certainly better than Keith's. It even has a single which is quite good.

The single sounds John Cooper Clark reciting in front of a backing band
