Fearless features highlights from the various bands and artists with whom Wood has recorded, as well as from his own solo releases. The 78-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s work with The Birds, The Creation, the Jeff Beck Group, the Faces, Rod Stewart, and, of course, The Rolling Stones is represented on the CD compilation. The majority of the songs on Fearless were written or co-written by Wood.
The retrospective ends with four previously unreleased recordings by Ronnie, his first new songs since 2010. One of those tracks, a cover of “You’re So Fine,” a 1956 R&B tune originally recorded by The Falcons, is available now as an advance digital single. The track features Imelda May on backing vocals. Ameriacan Songwriters reports.
Fearless also includes an extensive new essay penned by music writer and author Paul Sexton, who has interviewed Wood and his Stones bandmates many times over the years.
The CD version of Fearless begins with a “You’re on My Mind,” a 1964 song Wood wrote for his early group The Birds. That’s followed by “The Girls Are Naked,” a 1968 tune Ronnie co-wrote during his brief tenure with The Creation. The LP collection opens with “Plynth (Water Down the Drain),” a tune Wood co-wrote with Stewart and keyboardist Nicky Hopkins that appeared on the Jeff Beck Group’s classic 1969 album Beck-Ola.
The CD and vinyl versions of Fearless both include includes such Faces classics as “Stay with Me” and “Ooh La La.” They also feature the Stewart solo gems “Gasoline Alley” and “Every Picture Tells a Story.”
