Bill has always been a fan of The Blues, and in 2001, using his knowledge and love of the genre, he put together this 2 CD set of his own favourites, tracing the history of the blues.
The forty-six tracks include a track from every important, seminal and influential blues artist. Amongst the tracks are the originals of songs like “Baby Please Don’t Go”, “Matchbox” and “Spoonful”, songs that were so important to the development of Rock ‘n’ Roll, and of rock music in the UK.
The DVD features a 110 minute documentary on the history of the blues presented by Clarke Peters and featuring Bill Wyman giving his take on the importance of the genre, talking with many of the blues greats.
The outer box is signed by Bill.
