While streaming algorithms push yesterday’s hits into digital obscurity, Ron Wood‘s Fearless: Anthology 1965-2025 proves some careers deserve the full documentary treatment. This double-disc retrospective, arriving September 26, 2025, maps the improbable journey from teenage Birds member to Rolling Stones institution.
The Ultimate Rock Resume
Your music collection probably contains Wood’s work without you realizing it. The anthology traces his path through rock’s most influential acts—from the Creation’s psychedelic experiments through Jeff Beck Group’s blues-rock innovations, the Faces’ boozy swagger, and five decades anchoring the Stones’ rhythm section.
Think of it as rock’s most extensive collaboration network made audible. The collection includes highlights from all seven solo albums plus key partnerships: the Faces’ “Ooh La La,” Rod Stewart’s “Every Picture Tells a Story,” and collaborations with George Harrison, Billy Gibbons, and Bob Dylan.
Essential Details:
• Chronological journey from 1965 Birds recordings to 2025 new material
• Features Wood’s signature “weaving” guitar style with Keith Richards
• Includes new essay by Paul Sexton with fresh interviews
• Marks both 50th anniversary with Stones and 60th year of professional music
New Material Breaks the Silence
Four brand new tracks recorded in 2025 break Wood’s 15-year recording hiatus, including his cover of the Falcons’ “You’re So Fine.” For someone who’s spent decades perfecting the art of musical conversation, these fresh recordings suggest the conversation isn’t over.
This anthology doesn’t just celebrate Wood’s past—it demonstrates how legacy artists can curate their narratives in an age where streaming platforms fragment musical histories. Your understanding of rock’s evolution gets the complete picture, not just the algorithm’s unchanging rock bands.
