An English rock band founded by Ronnie Wood and featuring his running mates Keith Richards and Ian MacLagan, as well as bassist Stanley Clarke, Meters drummer Joseph Zigaboo Modeliste, and saxophonist Bobby Keys, the roots of the New Barbarians lie in Ron Wood's need to have a backing band for the supporting tour for his 1974 debut, I've Got My Own Album to Do. The group made its debut supporting the Rolling Stones on a pair of Toronto charity concerts in 1979, then set out on a full American tour that lasted a mere 18 dates. In 2016, a Madison Square Garden gig from 1979 was released as Wanted Dead or Alive from MRI. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
