Thanks for posting and starting this thread. I love your boxer shorts you use as a background for the photos of the book ;0)

Hilarious, the background is actually a bedspread I bought that my wife told me to return because "...it looks like you sewed it together from all your old boxer shorts I threw away". Good eye!

Remembering the Little-Known, But Totally Awesome, New Barbarians

New Barbarians: Outlaws, Gunslingers, and Guitars
By Rob Chapman
Voyageur Press, 200 pp., $40

Finally, a book on that great little band that featured Keith Richards and Ron Wood on guitars.

No, not that band that’s still going and features a 73-year-old great-grandfather (and new father) as front man, but the New Barbarians: the short-lived (very short-lived) ad hoc “supergroup” featuring those Stones axemen along with Small Faces/Faces keyboardist Ian McLagen, Meters drummer Jos
eph "Zigaboo" Modeliste, saxophonist Bobby Keys, and jazz fusion bassist Stanley Clarke.

t was 1979 when Mick Jagger decreed that the Stones would not continue the Some Girls tour that year. Faced with a solo record to promote and a clear calendar, Wood began putting together a loose group whose rehearsals included jamming on Wood’s songs along with rock, country and R&B covers, and the occasional Stones tune. Neil Young inadvertently christened them the Barbarians; the “New” was added to distinguish them from the ‘60s garage rockers (“Are You a Boy or a Girl?”).

Richards — who had barely escaped a prison sentence for a Canadian drug bust and was trying to kick heroin — in particular needed something to do, or at least limit his partying to some sort of structure. And while Wood was ostensibly the “front man,” the loose structure of the band (and the shows) gave the impression of a party onstage. The group’s first two gigs, opening for the Stones in Canada, were played as part of Richards’ plea deal, benefiting the Canadian Institute for the Blind.

In April/May, the New Barbarians stormed across the country for an additional 18 shows, including a stop at the Summit on May 12; this book includes some backstage photos from the gig. According to Chapman’s description, a splendid time was had by all. Early in the tour the band was based out of Wisconsin's Playboy Club, which likely didn't make it too tough a time. Woody was ostensibly the front man but...well..let's just say that his vocals (at least as captured on the accompanying CD or loose, raw live takes) make his pal Keef's sound like Mick's in terms of quality comparison.

That’s despite that fact that rumors would run rampant at every stop that famous “friends” might be part of the band that night (it didn’t help that some promoters or venues may have billed it that way). So when, say, a Jagger, Bowie, Dylan, or Page did not show up by show’s end, some audiences rioted.

The New Barbarians' lifespan was always supposed to be temporary, and after a summer appearance opening for Led Zeppelin at England’s Knebworth Festival and a lone early-1980 gig with half of the group, it was over. Live recordings (both official and bootleg) and video scraps have surfaced over the years, but the fully-filmed last concert of the tour has disappeared. The band never made a studio record, though all of the members played on sessions for Ian McLagen’s 1979 solo debut, Troublemaker.

They were long viewed as simply an aberrant footnote in Rolling Stones history, but Chapman's handsome book does a wonderful job telling the Barbarians’ story. It’s chock-full of rare live photos, memorabilia, and ephemera, and seemingly done in participation with band members and associates. The accompanying CD features ten remastered mostly live cuts, proving that it’s only rock and roll, and the New Barbarians liked it.

This is indeed a great book, including thanks to the input of some of our very own here on IORR

I remember the Ann Arbor show. First one after Toronto I think.

"Do I @#$%& have to BLEED FOR YOU! He ain't here!" --- Ron Wood responding to the audience caterwauling for Jagger.

Also known as «The First Barbarians» or «The Baby Barbarians».

I believe the Kilburn-gig was officially released with the band named «The First Barbarians», no?

Yeah! That was a good one. What a groovy band. Ironically, even more groovy than the lineup with Stanley Clarke and Zigaboo Modeliste

They don't make hoods & hoodlums like they used to, anymore.

Got it yesterday-Just two Words: Buy It!


Beautiful!!!

Book is due out next week. Launch party is set for May 4th.

I haven't bought this book but so far I'm reading some good reviews from those who did it. Time to check it out, I guess.

I picked this book up a couple of weeks ago from a store downunder. I had given up buying Stones books as they are mostly a rehash of all the stories we know but this one is different and highly recommended. Well researched and the memorabilia photos are worth the price of the book alone. Also comes with a cd which has nothing new but is a nice addition.

This book was originally out a couple of months ago.
I think this is a release of a second printing.
I am glad folks like the included memorabilia as many of those items were a fair portion of my contribution to this publication...
