Ron Wood is celebrating the Sept. 26 release of his retrospective "Anthology: The Essential Crossexion," the lone unreleased track from which is the Rod Stewart collaboration "You Strum and I'll Sing."
"It's like a really sweet demo," Wood says of the track, which also features the Stereophonics' Kelly Jones. "We had a quick afternoon in my studio in London [so] we just laid the groundwork for this album that we will one day finish off together. Rod said, 'Well, one day we'll do this properly,' this song. And I thought, 'Well, it's gonna take God knows how long, so let me just use the example of it we made.'"
"Crossexion" also features tracks from Wood's solo work and his days with the Birds, the Creation, the Jeff Beck Group and the Faces. There are two Rolling Stones tracks he co-wrote as well -- "Everything Is Turning to Gold" and "Black Limousine."
