RONNIE WOOD Talks About Collaborating With SLASH, BILLY GIBBONS, EDDIE VEDDER On New Solo CD
September 28, 2010Video footage of Ronnie Wood talking to the Artisan News Service about his collaboration with Slash (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES),Eddie Vedder (PEARL JAM),Flea (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) and Billy Gibbons (ZZ TOP) on Wood's seventh studio album, "I Feel Like Playing" (which is being released today [September 28] via Eagle Records) can be viewed below.
Featuring twelve brand new cuts, written specially for this release, "I Feel Like Playing" takes its name [and cover] from one of Ronnie's most vibrant recent artworks. The color and verve of the artwork is equally reflected in the swagger and roll of the music on the album. Solo work has always co-existed alongside Ronnie's band commitments and "I Feel Like Playing" is, he feels, his best album yet.
Ronnie Wood needs no introduction to any fan of British rock music. Starting his career with THE BIRDS and then CREATION, it was when Ronnie joined the JEFF BECK GROUP that he truly started to stamp his identity on the music world. After that group split, Ronnie — along with Rod Stewart — joined up with ex-SMALL FACES Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones in THE FACES. While Ronnie (and Rod) moved on after a couple of years, THE FACES are viewed by all rock fans as a truly classic band; and in fact they perform a handful of dates in 2010 with Mick Hucknall on vocals. After the release of his first solo album, Ronnie was invited to join THE ROLLING STONES — in 1975 — and remains with them to this day.
Rightly revered for his time with THE FACES, JEFF BECK GROUP and, of course, the STONES, Ronnie Wood has continued to chart his own course and his output of both high-quality music and art has been a constant. "I Feel Like Playing" is a great addition to his catalogue and all lovers of true British creative mavericks will find much to admire.
