    Liner Notes »

Bill Wyman's personal tribute to the music and musicians that inspired him to pick up a bass guitar and become a founding member of the "Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World," The Rolling Stones.

Bill Wyman's Blues Odyssey is told with the passion and insight that only he can command through his having known many of the legends, played with them, talked with them and taken their music to the world. Bill talks with many of the blues greats, and the program includes contributions from a host of legendary performers.

There is concert and performance footage, some never seen before, as well as candid informed comment from men and women who share Bill's love for the blues.

There is a general list of many "big name" blues artists listed on one side of the screen at the program's conclusion (while the credits roll on the other) regardless whether they appeared in the program or not. To avoid confusion as to who does or doesn't appear in the documentary we decided not to list those names in the liner notes section of this page.
