Bill Wyman Chronicles The Rhythm Kings With New Box Set

Bill Wyman: The Kings Of Rhythm Volume 4- Race With The DevilFormer Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman has released a new box set chronicling the live performances of his band The Rhythm Kings. The Kings Of Rhythm Volume 4: Race With The Devil contains three DVDs and a CD of the 10-piece blues and soul band with Wyman at the helm.

“The band has a core rhythm section but features a revolving combination of all-star guest front men and women,” Wyman’s website states. “These DVDs and CD feature the talents of Georgie Fame, Albert Lee, Mike Sanchez, Gary Brooker, Beverley Skeete, Terry Taylor and Peter Frampton.”

The DVDs include a 1999 performance at the Embassy Rooms in London, a 2001 performance from Montreux, and a pair of concerts from 2004 accompanied by a tour documentary. Bonus features include the “Groovin'” album promo film plus interviews and performance captured on the bassist’s personal camcorder from his 1999 UK tour.

The CD, entitled Rockin’ the Roots, is the audio from one of the 2004 performances. Check out this trailer and performance of “I Got a Woman”:
