Ronnie Wood: 6 String Slinger, Perpetual Party Boy and now…Professional Yarn Spinner
by Judd on 15/08/2010
If you know me, you know me as a serious music fan. I am not just a fan of all of the sounds and songs…I am a fan of all of the stories that live within the songs. The folks and the lore that are intertwined within the songs are where you get access…the dirt.
I love books written by flies-on-the wall or first hand accounts. I love the documentaries, too. I have never been one for straight concert films, but I love the docco’s that dig deep and reveal lots. If you are like me and have a ridiculous R&R Fantasy, the books, the doccos, the interviews…this is where you get to play along. (Speaking of which, did you see the docco put out to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Stones, ‘Exile on Main St.”? No? Run, don’t walk, brothers and sisters…you got to move.)
Usually the best stories are told by those that experienced them…those that were there and lived to tell. There may be no one in R&R that has had more experiences and been there, more than Ronnie Wood. He is the ultimate “surprise guest” at gigs, the perennial last-one-to-leave-the-party and now he has his own radio show where he gets to spin some of the coolest fucking R&R yarns ever heard.
Find the show at Ronnie Wood Radio and follow it on Twitter @ronniewoodshow
Ronnie telling us about what he will be telling us about…
Actually, the show has been around since March 2010…I just stumbled across it. I have been locked into this since I found out about it. If you are down with the stories found in the sound…check this shit out. It’s chock full of pics, audio and vids…and, of course, Ronnie.

Ronnie Wood has a new album coming out 27th Sep: “I Feel Like Playing” http://goo.gl/v0kH
“Ain’t singing for Pepsi. Ain’t singing for Coke. I don’t sing for nobody. Makes me look like a joke”. This post’s for you…
For the record: I am not an affiliate for Amazon or anyone else. The links I embed to Amazon are just for FYI purposes only.
Further listens: The songs @ronniewoodshow are f’ing bow-down. The stories he tells are too. He even plays a bit.
This is going to be something I’m scheduling time for… I’ve always dug Ronnie Wood from the time with Jeff Beck to The Faces to The Stones. He’s such a great player and I have never heard him talk much… probably because he usually gets overshadowed by the “bigger names” in the groups he’s been in.It’s hilarious to think that he and the rest of the Stones still consider him the “new guy.”Thanks for bringing this into my life. I look forward to listening this tonight!
Sweet! Thanks for the heads up on this. I absolutely loved his autobiography, so I’m ready to hear him spin his stories and play music that moves him. Hm, now, to get this on my iPhone so I can listen at the gym…
iPhone solution found: Soundcloud app, $0.99. Excellent.
@ickmusic Funny. I have that app. Haven’t given it it’s due. After our convo on your blog & my subsequent post, I have been giving more time to streaming. What do you like about the SoundCloud app?
@TheFrontloader Sweet Lou: Ronnie…he didn’t become an official Stone unti the Voodoo Lounge tour…I think. Could’ve been “Bridge”. That’s a big deal when it comes to payday.Cool…give the @ronniewoodshow plenty of room to breathe. It is bow-down material.
@ickmusic Pete, shit…you were talking about getting the @ronniewoodshow via the soundcloud app! Gotcha. Sweet…nice find. I’m on it now.
Honestly, if you are not listening to @RonnieWoodShow you are missing some damn good shit: music and storytelling by Ronnie. Gets better w/each listen.
