Former Rolling Stones member Bill Wyman is set to release his first studio album since 1982 later this year.

 

The album, entitled Back To Basics, will feature eight new tracks and five songs that have been reworked from old demos. Speaking about the album, Wyman commented: "Initially I thought 'I'm a bit old for this' but then I thought all the old blues musicians played till they dropped so why don't I give it a go”.

The full track-listing is as follows:

'What & If & When & Why'
'I Lost My Ring'
'Love, Love, Love'
'Stuff (Can't Get Enough)'
'Running Back To You'
'She's Wonderful'
'Seventeen'
'I'll Pull You Through'
'November'
'Just A Friend Of Mine'
'It's A Lovely Day'
'I Got Time'
‘Exciting'

Wyman left the group in 1993 but appeared onstage with them for their special gigs at London’s O2 Arena in late 2012. However, Wyman later spoke to the Huffington Post and spoke about his disappointment with the performance, saying: “The nice thing was that my kids saw me on stage with the Stones. They'd asked me the December before, and I had to jam with them for three days. I was under the impression I was going to get really involved, but when it came to it, they only wanted me to do two songs, which was very disappointing."
