Stone Alone (50th Anniversary) [National Album Day 2025]

Description

For National Album Day 2025, Demon Music are proud to make Bill Wyman’s second solo album available as a limited edition 2LP set on purple vinyl. Originally released as a 12-song album in March 1976 on Rolling Stones Records, this new version adds six bonus tracks, some appearing on vinyl for the very first time. The extraordinary array of talent joining Bill on ‘Stone Alone’ is a ‘Who’s Who’ of ’70s Rock, and includes Van Morrison on saxophone, keyboards from Dr John, and from Al Kooper (Bob Dylan/Blood Sweat & Tears), additional brass from Steve ‘The Doctor’ Kupa, Lenny Pickett, Mic Gillette and Emilio Castillo (Tower Of Power), backing vocals from Bonnie and Ruth Pointer (The Pointer Sisters), drums from Dallas Taylor (Crosby, Stills & Nash) and Jim Keltner (George Harrison), guitar from Bob Welch (Fleetwood Mac), plus Bill’s Rolling Stones’ bandmates, guitarist Ronnie Wood, and pianist Nicky Hopkins. The album features nine original songs, written, arranged and produced by Bill, alongside covers of the R&B favourites ‘A Quarter to Three’, a 1961 single for Gary ‘U.S.’ Bonds’, and Jimmy Soul’s tongue-in-cheek 1963 single ‘If You Wanna Be Happy’.
