So I am sure that everyone here knows by now what a HUGE fan of Ronnie Wood I am. I just got some great news about a new collection of career spanning music for him. I think I already have all the music talked about except for the unreleased track from 2005 but I am still quite excited. I just wanted to mention it so if noone has checked him out they might want to give this little retrospective a shot. While we were on TouR I found a Ron Wood CD in a gas station cheap. I was so surprised to see it there so I bought it even though I already had it back home. TR ended up liking so much I gave it to him at the end of the TouR. It was Ronnie's "Live at Electric Ladyland" CD. Here is the new collection:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters)
- Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood will release a two-disc retrospective in September, collecting tracks from his solo outings and his work with the Stones, the Faces, the Jeff Beck Group, and the Creation.
"Ronnie Wood Anthology: The Essential Crossexion," due September 26 via Virgin/EMI, boasts 37 tracks, including a previously unreleased duet with longtime pal Rod Stewart, the 2005 tune "You Strum and I'll Sing."
The first disc draws from Wood's solo albums, 1974's "I've Got My Own Album To Do," 1975's "Now Look," 1979's "Gimme Some Neck," 1981's "1234," 1992's "Slide On This," and 2002's "Not For Beginners."
The second disc offers a sample of Wood's group outings, from his first late '60s recordings with the Creation ("Midway Down." "The Girls Are Naked"), to his subsequent work with the Birds ("You're On My Mind," "You Don't Love Me"), the Jeff Beck Group ("All Shook Up," "Plynth"), the Faces ("Stay With Me," "Ooh La La"), and the Rolling Stones ("Everything Is Turning To Gold," "Black Limousine").
Collaborations with Beck ("I Ain't Superstitious") and Stewart ("Maggie May") are also featured. Not included are tracks from Wood's 1988 concert recording with Bo Diddley, "Live at the Ritz."
The Stones, which Wood joined in 1975 for a $100,000 salary, are currently touring Europe. They return to North America in September. In his early years with the Stones, Wood usually co-wrote one or two tracks on each album, but principals Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have not sought his input since 1986's "Dirty Work."

For those who want to delve even further I suggest checking out Ronnie's website:

For those who think only seeing is believeing Ronnie also has a DVD called Far East Man that is awesome. |
