    Bill Wyman is the third album by Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman. It was released in 1982 by A&M Records.[2] The album reached number 55 on the UK album charts.[3]

    Unlike his previous albums, Bill Wyman is largely in the synth-pop style. The song "(Si Si) Je Suis un Rock Star" was the biggest hit single off the album. The album features guest musicians Brian Setzer, Slim Jim Phantom, Chris Rea, Dave Mattacks and Terry Taylor.[4]

    Critical reception[edit]

    In a retrospective review, AllMusic rated the album four stars out of five. They noted "(Si Si) Je Suis un Rock Star", "Come Back Suzanne" and "A New Fashion" as the best songs. They praised the album: "Instead of utilizing the all-star group of backup musicians that dominated his previous solo outings, Bill Wyman found the veteran rocker handling much of the instrumentation himself, with only a rhythm section and a few guest stars pitching in. The result is a crisp, consistent sound that mixes the electronic edge of new wave with good, old-fashioned rock & roll production values." The album is a "worthwhile listen" and concluded that "ultimately, one's level of interest in Bill Wyman will depend on their love of eccentric humor, but no one can deny that it effectively combines solid songwriting and a sleek, consistent production style."[6]
