Willie And The Poor Boys (Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Jimmy Page, Paul Rodgers, Chris Rea) - The Complete Willie And The Poor Boys (2 CD, 2015/FLAC)

 In November 1984, Bill Wyman got together a group of well-known musicians to record an album (CD 1 of this package) of rock’n’roll numbers to help the Ronnie Lane Appeal for ARMS. The band was called Willie And The Poor Boys and the fantastic line-up included Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, Geraint Watkins, Mickey Gee and Andy Fairweather Low, plus Ray Cooper, Jimmy Page, Willie Garnett, Chris Rea, Steve Gregory, Paul Rodgers, Kenney Jones, Henry Spinetti and Terry Williams. CD 2 is a Willie And The Poor Boys live album, recorded in Sweden in 1992.

Bill Wyman 1974-2015 [FLAC]

As a member of the Rolling Stones for three decades, Bill Wyman established himself among the greatest bassists in rock & roll history; in tandem with drummer Charlie Watts, he belonged to one of the most stalwart rhythm sections in popular music, perfectly complementing the theatrics of Mick Jagger and the gritty guitar leads of Keith Richards.

This box contains the first four releases from Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, the good-time ten-piece band that Bill Wyman put together after leaving the Rolling Stones in 1992.

Nicky Hopkins, Ry Cooder, Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts - Jamming With Edward [1961,FLAC]

 

Jamming with Edward! is an album recorded by three members of The Rolling Stones with Nicky Hopkins and Ry Cooder at London's Olympic Studio during the Let It Bleed sessions of 1969, and released on Rolling Stones Records in 1972. Keith Richards had stormed out of the sessions for a few days in protest of producer Jimmy Miller's decision to bring Cooder in to beef up the guitars as Dave Mason did during the Beggars Banquet sessions.

On the strength of The Rolling Stones' association with the album, Jamming With Edward! reached #33 on the U.S charts, although it failed to reach the UK listings.
The eponymous Edward was pianist Nicky Hopkins, as in Edward the Mad Shirt Grinder, Hopkins' star turn on Quicksilver Messenger Service's album Shady Grove.
