'''''Now Look''''' is the second solo album by English musician [[Ronnie Wood]], released in July 1975. In the United States, it peaked at number 118 on ''Billboard''{{'}}s top 200 albums listings, during a six-week chart run. Produced by Wood, [[Bobby Womack]] and [[Ian McLagan]], the album also includes musical contributions from [[Keith Richards]], [[Mick Taylor]], [[Jean Roussel]], [[Willie Weeks]] and [[Andy Newmark]] – all of whom had played on Wood's debut, ''[[I've Got My Own Album to Do]]''.

The [[Faces (band)|Faces]] worked the song "Big Bayou" into the setlist for their 1975 fall tour, which turned out to be the band's final tour. Faces vocalist [[Rod Stewart]] recorded his own cover of "Big Bayou" the following year for ''[[A Night on the Town (Rod Stewart album)|A Night on the Town]]''. Wood remade "Breathe on Me" in 1991 for his album ''[[Slide On This]]''.
