Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars More upbeat.......2003-01-30

This collection of old R&B, pop and early rock standards is more upbeat than any other RK release. Highly recommended if you love the other CDs and can't get enough. I thoroughly enjoy the Kings and listen to all their CDs regularly. As always, a find support cast and the kind of music you just can't find anymore.

5 out of 5 stars Definetly Grows On You!.......2002-02-28

Bill Wyman has assembled a lot of talent for this project including Albert Lee, Gary Booker, George Harrison, Martin Taylor and Wyman himself. Admitedly, at first blush, I thought there were two many Hooo! Hooo! Hooo's! for my taste, especially on the first two tracks--"Long Walk To DC" and "Hot Foot Blues". However, what I soon came to realize was that Wyman had successfully put together a rather ecclectic mix of various blues styles on one disc, stemming from Gospel to Swing and from the Delta to Chicago. If given a chance the CD will definitely grow on the listener although it will not necessarily make you want to get up and dance. On the other hand, the music is extremely polished and all performances are first rate.

3 out of 5 stars too slick for its own good.......2002-02-05

When I sampled a few cuts on Amazon.com I was impressed by the musicanship. But having purchased the CD I'm a bit disappointed. As one reviewer here wrote, it is a good CD to have on while going about one's business. I agree. But for a Car CD or to listen to closely, I feel, while it has a high degreee of musical accoomplishment, there is a generic, studio-session-man slickness that keeps one distanced from the real essence of the music.

Furthermore, for me there are too many Georgie Fame bland vocals and too few Gary Brooker, Procol Harum vocals. I do like the female voices. I also confess a prejudice against what I would call 1940's jive music, the kind Brian Setzer plays. Therefore these selections are not as pleasing to me as the R and B and blues, and there are several of them.

So, good for a party or while otherwise engaged, but too seemless to be deeply engaging.

4 out of 5 stars Stone and Beatle unite.......2001-07-24

"Double Bill" is an eclectic, but enjoyable collection of tunes that music fans should want to check out. Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings provides samplings of just about every musical style and song you can think of. It is a great CD to put on your computer at work or home while you go about your business. It also is wonderful that George Harrison makes a guest appearance on "Love Letters." His slide guitar bit was recorded in January, not long before his new bout with cancer began. That is one of many compelling reasons to purchase this.
