Ronnie's best record

"Slide on This is Ronnie Wood's best record. Written in collaboration with Bernard Fowler (backing vocalist of the Rolling Stones, and lead singer in several Charlie Watts'records) is very inspired and very intriguing. Testify, Breathe on Me and Always Wanted More are among Ronnie's best songs ever--they're as fresh as 'I can feel the fire' but they have better lyrics. The record is enriched by (the reproduction of) Ronnie's paintings. It's kind of curious that the Stones have only sporadically (pretty Beat Up, Dance, ..) used Ronnie's compositions. In any case, Slide on this is a must."

Not his Best, but still good

"Woody is a MASSIVELY under-rated talent, songwriter, musician, singer. Nothing comes close to "Gimme Some Neck" How come that album didn't take off used to baffle me; but I now realize that it was because the songs on it were too sophisticated for the average listener.

A lot of his records only have a couple of songs that I like on them, and a few of them have no songs that I like on them.

This record had only 2 songs that I liked: Testify & Josephine - and I was stoked to buy it brand new on vinyl back when it first came out just for those 2 great songs- and then he went and did them even better on the "Slide on this Live" record. The newest version of Slide-on-LIVE has a lot more material than the original release and as I recall those were the only 2 songs I liked on it."
