An upcoming career-spanning double-disc Ronnie Wood collection includes solo material as well as co-written songs with the Rolling Stones, Faces and Jeff Beck Group. “Fearless: Anthology 1965-2025” will be available in 2CD and 2LP formats on September 26th.
The set includes a cover of the Falcons’ No. 17 1959 hit “You’re So Fine,” Wood’s first new music since 2010’s “I Feel Like Playing”. The set also features a new essay by Paul Sexton with extensive interviews.
Wood is celebrating his 50th anniversary with the Rolling Stones. He’s released seven solo studio albums along the way. “Fearless: Anthology 1965-2025” begins with his first groups, the Birds and the Creation, when Wood was still a teen in the mid-’60s before moving on to work with Jeff Beck and the Faces.
The set’s other key song writing collaborators include Rod Stewart (the title track from Stewart’s 1971 LP “Every Picture Tells a Story“), Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top (2010’s “Thing About You” from “I Feel Like Playing), Ronnie Lane (the beloved title song from Faces’ 1973 finale “Ooh La La“) and George Harrison (1974’s “Far East Man” from “I’ve Got My Own Album to Do”). His cover of “Seven Days” by Bob Dylan originally appeared on 1979’s “Gimme Some Neck”.
“Fearless: Anthology 1965-2025″ is rounded out by four new songs: the original “Mother of Pearl” and updates of “You’re So Fine,” Allen Toussaint’s fun R&B gem “A Certain Girl” (with Pretenders stalwart Chrissie Hynde) and Hopeton Lewis’ rocksteady favourite “Take It Easy.” Imelda May is featured on “You’re So Fine.” These sessions were co-produced by Sean Genockey and Wood’s son Jesse.
