No, no, no! Acting? Why do these types always feel they have divine entitlement to dabble in art forms other than their own? Ronnie is a musician – an average one at that – not the next Tony Curtis. Fucking leave it alone, Ronnie.

Really digging the Ronnie lp.  Production is great, all instruments pop out...

Ronnie Wood has been a member of the Stones since the middle of the seventies. Whereas Mick Taylor, albeit an incredibly melodic and gifted guitarist, didn’t quite ‘fit’ into the fold that was the Rolling Stones, Ronnie fit like a glove. Still does.

Ronnie Wood also happens to be a sweetheart of a man I finally had the pleasure of sitting across from last week in New York City.

We were scheduled to meet at the Stones’ place of choice whenever they’re in New York City (I’ll have to leave you guessing on that one), at 4:30pm.

Ronnie’s manager called near noon, to say ‘Ronnie’s been invited to lunch with Obama and Clinton’. Being bumped by two Presidents was a first.

As the beautiful New York afternoon wore away, I wondered what kind of shape a guy, who’d spent the afternoon in the company of celebrity and politics, lunch and drinks, would be in by the time we met up for the interview – and at 8:15pm that evening, I could not have been more pleased with what I found.

Here you go, a conversation born out of the fact that Ronnie Wood’s new album ‘I Feel Like Playing’ was released September 28th 2010, featuring guest appearances from:

Slash
Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top)
Kris Kristofferson (hero)
Bernard Fowler (Stones backing vocalist)
Daryl Jones (Stones bassist)
Jim Keltner (what a drummer!)

And songs by Ronnie, Bob Rock, Paul Hyde, Eddie Vedder, Kris Kristofferson and more.

Part 1

Part 2

Excellent interview...

is it me, or is this Jeff Woods character the definition of smarmy...?

Not a bad album, "Lucky Man" is "Saint of Me" Part2 music wise, so that's not a bad thing. I like "100%" too. Nice thing is that you wouldn't know there are "guests", a problem on "Slide on This".

At least the guy can write a song, unlike say...Mick Taylor or Bill Wyman or Nicky Hopkins to name but a few who complained that Mick and Keith stole their songs, especially the first two.

Does anybody here know the name of track 13 in the Japanese Edition? Instead of the track name they have the legend

13.- (予定情報)他、日本盤ボーナス・トラック収録 

Translated it's

13.- (Appointment information) and others, Japan edition bonus track

I guess I'm biased because I am a big fan of Ronnie's music from all parts of his career, but I dig "I Feel Like Playing". The lyrics may be simple, but they're real and reflect on what the rollercoaster of Ronnie's life has been like these past few years. It's rocking, soulful, laid-back and bluesy. Some fantastic guitar work from Ronnie and Slash, beautiful backing vocals from the great Bernard Fowler and Bobby Womack and the infamous keys of Ian "Mac" McLagan. It's a feel-good throwback to a better time in music history.

Yes, certainly (much) more talented than the clown he's happy to play with the Stones...and the clown they're happy (most of the time) to have tag along.

Made me wince when he said he practically never heard from Keith when the Stones were not active, just a business at this point isn't it...

Track 13 is "I Don't Think So (The Early Sessions)" and track 14 is "Tell Me Something (The Early Sessions)"

Here's a tip Ronnie, pratice a bit each day and your fingers will be fine when it comes time to tour!

Actually I think this finger soaking story is TRUE! Finger licking good! Such temptations are everywhere though, and the tour is going to be a major binge-drinking trigger for Ronnie, he's fvcking worried already. That's a good thing though, Ronnie is resisting temptation now, off the road, but on the road is another story altogether. Can he keep sober on the road? He's pondering this question.
