bad with Mic and Keith . A classic for Wood fans .
this collection shows that ronnie, in addition to being an extremely good duitar player, is a pretty good songwriter and that his songwriting skills have remained quite remarkable in the course of his whole career. some of the late stuff that he has co-written by bernard fowler (breathe on me,...) is very very good.
one more, and totally unrelated, point--listening to 'i can feel the fire', i had the impression that mick jagger's voice and clearer and more clearly identifiable than it was when the song was released.
it's definitely an album worth having.
Overall a fun set and I really enjoyed disc two a bunch, but I had to go and buy the first solo lp for those songs by Jagger and Richards. Ronnie is one of the guitar players who deserves more credit for shaping British rock and roll. Great musician.
This double disc career overview logically features one disc of solo highlights and follows with a second disc showcasing his contributions to various group efforts for the likes of the Rolling Stones, the Faces and The Jeff Beck Group as well as more obscure combos. However the song selection is somewhat lacking and if I were king, it would have been different.
Disc 1 fares pretty well overall and offers a fine representation of RW solo cuts from the early 70's through the early 00's. You can't go wrong with any of these but off the top of my head, I am astonished that Sure The One You Need from I've Got My Own Album To Do is MIA and I would have liked to see the hard rocking Like It from 1992's Slide On This make the cut. Also, Woody has put out some pretty fantastic (and criminally overlooked) live albums that are not represented here.
Disc 2 suffers from too many tracks from his obscure 60's groups The Birds (Think British Invasion also-rans) and The Creation (Standard Yardbird-esque British 60's psychedelic rock). Six songs from these pre-fame and fortune outfits would fit fine if this were a six disc box set but in this format, they take up too much valuable real estate. Also over-represented is the Jeff Beck Group with four tracks. Ronnie was demoted to bass in this seminal combo and it really is all about JB with Rod Stewart as a close-second star. Ronnie was a key contributor to the jammin' Plynth (water down the drain) and that great song would have been sufficient to represent this period of his career.
If anything, the fabulous Faces are under-represented with four tracks as is the early Rod Stewart solo material where Ronnie's guitar was such a key contribution. It is pretty much an open secret that in the context of the Stones Mick and Keith have inappropriately shared or denied songwriting credit to RW (and Mick Taylor before him) but at least we get the great Black Limousine and Everything Is Turning To Gold. I would have liked to see the fantastic groover Pretty Beat Up presented here (perhaps in its pounding RW-sung version from Live & Eclectic).
Finally, it's odd that the New Barbarians aren't represented here as well as anything from the Live At The Ritz Bo Didley collaboration.
Perfect? No. Really enjoyable? Absolutely!

そんな彼のキャリアを総括したBetsで#1-16.17が未発表曲。ここにしか収録されて
いない。
63~’66年のBirds(ロジャー・マッギンのバーズとは別バンドです)でのレコード・デビュー
から’67~’69年のJeff Beck Groupでベースを弾いていた時期、’68年のCreation
を経てこの間にクワイエットメロンが有るがここでは割愛されている。
その後 愛すべき世界最高の酔いどれバンドFaces~StonesとDisc#2は彼の華麗
成るキャリアをDisc#2では総括している。
Disc#1はソロでの楽曲が並べられており、Stones/It's Only Rock'n Rollの録音期
と同時期に彼の英国・リッチモンドの自宅スタジオ”Wick”で制作された初ソロアルバム
”I've Got My Own Album To Do”よりMick Jaggerと共作、共演した#1,
何度聴いても解ら無いがコーラスにはデビット・ボウイが参加しているらしい。
(蛇足ながらこの時 この曲とIt's Only R&Rの2曲が二人で共作されRonnieが
こちらを取り、StonesはIt'sを録音したらしい)
Keithとの初録音と成った#2, その後Keithは4ケ月間 彼の自宅に居座り交友を
深めたと言う(笑)ジョージ・ハリスンと競作と成った味わい深い名曲#3
誰も言及しないが、彼のギター・ソロの中では一番の出来だと思う#4
ボビー・ウーマックと共同プロデュースした傑作2ndより絶品バラードの#5,
Stones加入後のソロ3作目からはFunkyに軽やかに跳ねる名曲#7等 重要曲を
収録。
Eric Clapton/No Reason To Cry録音に参加し、Bob Dylanが#8をClaptonに送る
がアルバムの色にそぐわないと収録を断念すると、Ronnieが譲り受けた逸話は彼
の人徳の成せる業だろう。ここではDylanの30周年記念Live時の音源を収録。
ソロ4作目からはデフ・レパードのジョー・エリオットと制作したメロディアスな#9,前妻へ捧げた#12
そのアルバムのプロモーションを兼ねたLiveを展開しLive盤を発表するが、そこからは
#13を収録。
ソロ5作目からは彼の息子Jessの参加した#14,娘Leahとのデュエットも微笑ましい#15
未発表曲の#16は20年振りにアンディ・ニューマーク&ウイリー・ウイークスのリズム隊と共演
#16はRod&ステレオ・フォニックのケリー・ジョーンズと共演。
その他にもこのアルバムい収録された曲だけでも U2/エッジ ガンズ&ローゼス/スラッシュ
等が参加しており彼の交友関係の広さを示している。
ソングライター・プレイヤーとしてもっと評価されて然るべきアーティスト。
これを機にあなたにも聴いて欲しい!
