WILLIE AND THE POOR BOYS (Passport Music Video) A surprisingly top-notch halfhour starring Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Andy Fairweather Low, Geraint Watkins, Micky Gee and a host of other good ol’ limeys. Despite Wyman’s blundering solo career—from the greatness of “In Another Land” to two stiff solo LPs to movie soundtracks to Stones historian to revivalist rocker—there is no denying this set’s lack of pretensions shows the aging bassist to be a fairly charismatic rocker.

WILLIE AND THE POOR BOYS
(Passport Music Video)
A surprisingly top-notch halfhour starring Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Andy Fairweather Low, Geraint Watkins, Micky Gee and a host of other good ol’ limeys. Despite Wyman’s blundering solo career—from the greatness of “In Another Land” to two stiff solo LPs to movie soundtracks to Stones historian to revivalist rocker—there is no denying this set’s lack of pretensions shows the aging bassist to be a fairly charismatic rocker. There’s a minute plot, but the excellent editing and general fast pace make it a highly enjoyable, informal 30 minutes of well-played, well-meant rock ’n’ roll. “Donations from proceeds from this videocassette are being made to A.R.M.S.,” we’re told somewhat non-specifically, but who cares? Recommended. K.C.
