Bill Wyman

As bassist with the Rolling Stones, Bill Wyman is an integral part of one of the greatest bands in the history of rock & roll with the groove of his straightforward, thoughtful bass work. Not everyone would know what to do as an encore after that, but even during his time with the Stones, Wyman occasionally stepped out with solo projects, and after leaving the group in 1993, he has continued to write and record, sometime playing the sort of blues-influenced rock he performed with the Stones (1997's Struttin' Our Stuff and 2015's Back to Basics) as well as material that reflected his interest in more contemporary, dance-oriented sounds (1992's Bill Wyman, which included his hit "Si, Si, Je Suis Un Rock Star," and 1992's Stuff). With 2024's Drive My Car, Wyman showed he could play rootsy rock & roll with a fresh and breezy feel.
