Number of Stone Alone (1976) Reviews: 1
Reviewer: John Fitzgerald, Human resources staff database assistant May 17, 2001 Bob Welch plays electric guitar on the opener which is the only thing close to a good song
on this record "A quarter to three" but like his acoustic playing on "Gimmie just one
chance" & "Peanut butter time", it is present but doesn't particularly stand out enough to
enjoy it. For the most part Wyman attempts to incorporate a New Orleans style sound
with Jimmy Buffett type quirkiness (a la "Cheeseburger in paradise") and it fails on all
levels. The closest thing to a rocker on the record "Wine and wimmen" will undoubtedly
disappoint any Stones fan, his dreadful cover of "If you wanna be happy" is nowhere near
the Peter B's league and "No more foolin'" is a completely unfunny stab at Louis
Armstrong. The only way this may have gained two stars is if it's humor worked to prove
he knew exactly what he was doing but even that doesn't work and sadly, it's hard to tell
if he was attempting to do "serious camp" or not.
