About this album
Where they were
Released in early 1979, 'Gimme Some Neck' was Ronnie Wood's third solo album, following his participation in the Rolling Stones. At this point, Wood was well-established as a member of one of rock's biggest bands while also pursuing his own artistic vision. The album showcased his distinctive style, reflecting both his roots in rhythm and blues and his hard rock sensibilities.
Why it matters
The album received moderate commercial success, peaking at number 28 on the Billboard 200 chart. Its single 'F.U.C. Her' sparked controversy for its provocative title and lyrical content, contributing to discussions about censorship in music during the late 1970s. Notably, the record established Wood as a significant solo artist outside of his work with the Rolling Stones.
