This is an album by Ronnie Wood and Bo Diddley recorded live at the Ritz New York City, 1987. Songs played by the two guitarists include songs by Ron Wood, Bo Diddley, The Faces and the Rolling Stones. Rolling Stone and The Originator combine their efforts while performing at the Ritz in New York City in 1987. Most of the songs are Bo Diddley's originals, already classics of Blues. Others are written by Ron Wood, The Rolling Stones and The Faces. Songs vary from shorter versions to compositions that spin more than 7 minutes featuring guitar work of B & Ronnie as well as done on instrumental "Plynth". Two guitars lead the album (guitarists sing as well and one is Ron Wood to surprise of many), but harp and keyboard playing by keyboardist Hal Goldstein should be emphasized.
Bo Diddley's opening track "Road Runner", The Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women" and "Money To Ronnie" are of particular taste. One and only album of its kind. Pure rocky blues. Recommended to all fans of Bo Diddley.
Live at the Ritz is a 1988 live album by The Gunslingers (Ronnie Wood & Bo Diddley). It was a chart hit in Japan peaking at #40 and selling over 11,000 copies. Album was recorded live at the Ritz, New York, November 1987.
