Episode 229: Ronnie Woods' Rolling Stones (part 1 of 2)

Pacific Street Blues & Americana

Ronnie Wood has been a prominent music figure in British Blues Rock since the late 1960s. At a time when The Beatles were at their height, Wood lived in the basement of Ringo Starr's house near Grosvenor Square in London with Jimi Hendrix while John & Yoko lived upstairs. At the same time, Mick Jagger lives in the "mews" at the back of the house. From The Birds, to The Jeff Beck Group (feat: Rod Stewart), to The Faces (Ian McLagan, Kenny Jones, Ronnie Lane, Rod Stewart, & Ronnie Wood), to replacing Mick Taylor in the Rolling Stones (1975), Ron Wood has mixed and mingled with rock royalty for more than six decades.
Join us on this podcast only exploration of Ronnie "he would if he could" Woods' Rollin' Stones.

• NOTE: On the New Barbarian's album, Buried Alive, Let's Go Steady is credited to Sedaka/ Greenfield - which surprised me. As I dug around a bit, the song sung by Keith Richards is actually a JW Alexander track performed by Sam Cooke. I was going to fix it the error and then thought, No, I'll leave it in there since it adds to the hidden crevices of rock lore.
