4.0 out of 5 stars Great Lost LP, December 5, 2000

Such a great record, but nobody seems to know it exists.

I had the Now Look LP for about 2 years before I could ever convince myself to leave Side 1 and check out Side 2. Side 2 is pretty good--but I still don't leave Side 1 very often. The first four tracks, in particular, are outstanding.

What to say about "Breath On Me,' except that it was in my all-time top 20--and that's without being able to decipher some of the lyrics.

That song, and in fact the entire record, sound more like the Faces "Ooh La La" than the Stones "Some Girls," but I can see that comparison too.

Don't buy this record expected to hear much Keith Richards, though he does appear, mostly singing harmony and a bit of slide on a couple of tracks. This is a Faces LP without Rod Stewart, not a Stones record without Mick.

Buy it and love it.

Right from the opening track, the classy "I Got Lost When I Found You," Ron Wood proves just how wasted his talents have been in The Stones. Song after song, one has to wonder if the Jagger-Richards songwriting monopoly simply feared being exposed by bringing in Wood as a more prominent collaborator. Compared to many of the lackluster Stones albums of the time ("Black and Blue," "It's Only Rock'n'Roll", "Goats Head Soup"), "Now Look" stands as a punchy, fun, and inventive collection that never fails to entertain.

Recruiting the skills of Bobby Womack as partner songwriter on more than one track, plus the aid of various sensible luminaries (among them Ian MacLagan), Ron Wood manages to exude a charm all his own and come out grinning at the other end. It's plain difficult not to like an album like this. For those who need more than one Stone in an album, Keith comes in to play some shambolic guitar and add backing vocals. In fact, Wood's own singing resembles Keith's, particularly reminiscent of the latter's vocals on "Happy."

Together with "Gimme Some Neck" and "I've Got My Own Album To Do," "Now Look" is a Faces-Stones' fan dream come true.

Ron Wood's second solo album yet his best until this date; not many people heard of this album so be prepared for some great rock sound. If you are into the Faces or some of the early Rolling Stones, you will definitely find this album a great treat.
