Bill’s personally selected track of the week is Brownskin Girl, taken from the album Double Bill, with Bill on vocals.
Brownskin Girl appeared first on the album Double Bill, released by Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, and is now available as part of the four-CD collection The Kings Of Rhythm, Volume 2: Keep On Truckin’.
Double Bill is a Rhythm Kings double album CD featuring star-studded performances from some of the greatest artists in contemporary music, including: Albert Lee, Gary Brooker, Martin Taylor, Ray Cooper, Andy Fairweather Low, Georgie Fame, Chris Rea, George Harrison and on vocals the velvet voice of Miss Beverley Skeete. And, of course, Bill Wyman – the mastermind behind the album together with his writing and producing partner Terry ‘Tex’ Taylor.

The track is now available as part of the four CD set The Kings Of Rhythm, Volume 2: Keep On Truckin’ This second box in the series contains another four CDs, a record of Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings’ work from 2000 to 2002. The twelve-piece band that Bill put together after leaving the Rolling Stones in 1992 recorded three albums in this period, “Double Bill” being a 2 CD set. Disc four, the live “Travlin’ Band”, has previously only seen a very limited release.
The band has a core rhythm section, but features a revolving combination of all-star guest front men and women. These recordings feature the talents of Gary Brooker, Georgie Fame, Albert Lee, Andy Fairweather Low, Chris Rea, Beverley Skeete, Mick Taylor and George Harrison (amongst his last recordings) on an intriguing and varied selection of covers and originals.
The 28 page booklet contains all the credits and new annotation by Tony Rounce.
