Renowned guitarist Ronnie Wood is being honored with a comprehensive anthology that encapsulates his illustrious 60-year career. Known for his pivotal roles in The Rolling Stones and Faces, Wood's contributions to the music landscape are being compiled in a new release titled Fearless: Anthology 1965-2025. This definitive collection highlights both his solo endeavors and collaborative efforts with some of rock music's most iconic names.

Fearless is a double album that chronicles Wood's musical journey from his early days as a prodigious talent with bands like The Birds and The Creation in the 1960s, through his collaborations with The Jeff Beck Group, Faces, and The Rolling Stones, to his present-day projects. This anthology is not only a retrospective of his past works but also introduces new material, marking his first solo releases since his 2010 album, I Feel Like Playing. The fresh tracks include a cover of The Falcons' 1959 hit “You’re So Fine,” featuring vocals from Imelda May, and an update of Hopeton Lewis's “Take It Easy,” along with new collaborations with artists like Chrissie Hynde.

The anthology is set to be released on September 26 in both two-CD and two-LP formats, a perfect opportunity for fans to traverse Wood's dynamic career. It offers a mix of key moments from his seven solo studio albums and significant work with other musical legends. Notably, the set includes songs such as “You’re on My Mind” from The Birds and “Had Me a Real Good Time” from Faces, showcasing his development over decades. Each track is a testament to Wood's versatility and influence in rock music, bridging classic hits with exciting new ventures.

For fans interested in the stories behind these tracks, Wood's first solo output since 2010 includes intriguing new compositions such as “Mother of Pearl,” which adds a fresh layer to his already rich catalog. His son, Jesse Wood, and Sean Genockey served as producers, infusing familial continuity into this project. The anthology not only revisits past collaborations with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Lane but also adds a modern twist with newly produced songs.

The release of Fearless is not merely a collection of tracks but a celebration of Ronnie Wood's role as a guitarist whose work has shaped and defined genres over the decades. It encapsulates his legacy, highlighting his ability to remain relevant and innovative over a sprawling career. The anthology delivers milestones from his tenure with The Rolling Stones, like “Hey Negrita” and “Pretty Beat Up,” showcasing his integral contribution to their distinct sound.

For those interested in music memorabilia, Fearless also offers exclusive bundles, featuring combinations of CDs, LPs, and themed merchandise. This makes it not just a music release but a collector's delight, allowing fans to connect with Wood's artistic vision through both sound and tradition.

As Fearless: Anthology 1965-2025 gets closer to its launch, its pre-order options provide fans with the chance to own a piece of rock history. Ronnie Wood's anthology is a testament to an artist who has constantly evolved, embraced new ideas, and created a multifaceted musical legacy. By celebrating his extensive body of work, this collection reinforces Wood's enduring impact on music, both as a solo performer and a vital collaborator across the music industry.
