 Superb cast, but a missed opportunity
Even if his contribution to the Stones are generally maligned, Ron Wood has provided ample proof that he is in his own right a talented guitar player and songwriter. You should never overlook what he brought to The Faces and Rod Stewart (the first five albums). This album was recorded before Ronnie joined the Rolling Stones but he was already in their inner circle. At the same time, Mick Jagger would record the basic track for It's Only Rock'n'Roll with the same basic players, augmented by one David Bowie. However, this first solo album is very frustrating. You get the finest musicians, credited (Keith Richards, Ian McLagan) or uncredited guests (Mick Jagger, Mick Taylor, Rod Stewart), George Harrison, Jagger and Richards all contribute songs but the record is seldom satisfying. I guess the trouble is with the 70's supergroup complex but also with the songs, that sound unfinished. You get an interesting tune, that lacks polishing and development. When he was writing for The Faces or for Rod, Ronnie always had a partner (Rod or Ronnie Lane) that could help him change a promising idea into a great song. That's something missing from this album.
