No one in the history of rock has had as blessed a musical as Ron Wood, the multi-instrumentalist ("jack of all trades, master of barely one!" he jokes), primarily guitar-playing "new boy" of that rock'n'roll institution, the Rolling Stones. From his work with Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, the Faces and the Stones to sharing stages with Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bob Marley, Ray Charles (that's the greatest names ever in rock and pop music), Ronnie lives up to being what he calls "a professional second banana. I'm best at making others look good." Following in the footsteps of his musical brothers (in particular Art, who fronted an r&b/rockabilly band called the Artwoods), Ronnie was involved in music from a very early age. His first appearanee in front of an audience was at the age of nine, playing washboard at a movie theater with his brother's band. As a young teen, Ronnie's band the Birds played covers of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf, and Motown classics, as well as Beatles and Stones tunes (providing some valuable homework for the future). At 16, he and his harmonica stepped in onstage for an ailing Keith Relf of the Yardbirds, which proved to be Ronnie's big break. The next day the band sent word out looking for "that guy that looks like Cleopatra!" Working the British club circuit led to his alliance with one Jeff Beck, and as Jeff wasn't interested in having another guitar player in his band, he asked Ron to play bass. We should all thank him, because Ronnie's bass playing on the Truth and Beck-Ola albums is some of the best ever played by anyone. "Rock My Plimsoul," "Spanish Boots" and "Jailhouse Rock"? Forget it - you'll be killed. Not to mention "Maggie May"; his bass playing is inventive and irreverent, but always rock-solid. When Steve Marriott left life the Small Faces, Ronnie took his place as guitarist, but they still needed a vocalist, so Ronnie recruited Rod Stewart. The band name was shortened to the Faces, and Rod and Ronnie (along with Ronnie Lane on bass, Ian McLagan on keyboards and Kenney Jones on drums) wrote and recorded some of rock's greatest music. At the same time, Ronnie contributed greatly to the "solo" albums Rod was releasing, such as Every Picture Tells A Story, for which Ronnie coright, wrote the incredible title track, as well as the killer "(i Know) I'm Losing You" from the same album. Ron also co-wrote the timeless masterpiece "Stay With Me." Mick Jagger actually wanted Ronnie to join the Stones after Brian Jones died, but Ron's fellow Face Ronnie Lane never passed the message on; Ron didn't find this out till he joined the band five years later in '74. For historical sake, Ronnie first played on a Stones track in the spring of '74, contributing greatly To "It's Only Rock 'N'Roll," the original tape featuring Mick and Ron on guitars, Willie Weeks on bass, Kenney Jones on drums and David Bowie on backup vocals (the album credits Ronnie for "inspiration"). He officially joined the Stones during the recording of the Black And Blue album, recording commencing on December 15th, '74 at Musicland Studio in Munich, West Germany. Now let's get into some music, specifically the classic track "Stay With Me."
Heralded by some as the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band-a cliche, nonetheless
true, the Rolling Stones are a high-performance locomotive of unrivaled durability.
Folks have been predicting the end of the Stones from the beginning-over three
decades ago-and still they go rolling on. Guitarist Keith Richards has suggested the
band somehow taps into and reverberates some unknown universal vibrational note in
all of us. That's probably as good an explanation as any for their unflagging popularity
and amazing longevity, but another explanation might be found in a famous Stones'
lyric, which alludes to a simpler and more immediate reality-it's only rock 'n' roll, but
we like it.
The Rolling Stones were born some thirty-five years ago in England. Originally a
six-piece with Mick Jagger on vocals and harmonica, Keith Richards on guitar, Brian
Jones on guitar and harmonica, Bill Wyman on bass, Charlie Watts on drums, and Ian
Stewart on piano. The Stones created a strong local following in the R&B clubs of
London, not unlike the Beatles in Liverpool. In the London clubs, they met and came
under the direction of manager Andrew Loog Oldham, who helped the Stones secure
their first record deal. Oldham pared the band down to a five-piece unit (minus Stewart),
cultivated their songwriting skills, and promoted their bad boy image. The Stones' first
attempts at recordmaking were blues and R&B covers-songs like Chuck Berry's
"Come On." Their own version of the Beatles' "I Wanna Be Your Man" provided the band
with an early Top 10 hit in 1963, and "Not Fade Away" broke them globally in 1964.
From there, a string of hit singles followed-elassics such as "Little Red Rooster,"
"Satisfaction," "As Tears Go By," "Get Off My Cloud," "Paint It Black," and many others.
A widening gap between the rest of the band and blues purist/musical genius
Brian Jones caused Jones to leave in 1969. He died soon after (the coroner's report
stated "death by misadventure") and was replaced by British blues virtuoso Mick Taylor.
With Taylor, the Stones moved into the seventies and forged a unique and vital brand of
rock 'n' roll. This definitive period was characterized by singles like "Brown Sugar,"
"Honky Tonk Women," "Tumbling Dice," and "Angie," and albums like the highly
acclaimed Exile on Main Street and /t's Only Rock 'n' Roll. Taylor resigned in 1974, citing
"musical differences," and was replaced by ex-Faces guitarist Ron Wood.
Though disco, punk, new wave, and corporate rock threatened to eclipse the
Stones' popularity in the late seventies and early eighties, they held their own and
emerged victorious with releases such as Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, and Tattoo
You. The impetus of these records saw them through the decade, with followups including
Undercover, Dirty Work, and Steel Wheels. In 1989, the Stones were inducted into
the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, and as a fresh start for the nineties, they signed a mammoth
deal with Virgin Records reputedly worth more than $20 million.
The Rolling Stones are about groove. This book-audio volume pursues this
aspect of their music. The songs and sections chosen represent a wide variety of the
Stones' guitar-driven grooves-from traditional blues and R&B, to their own inimitable
brand of rock and roll.
THE STONES' GUITAR SOUND
The Stones' sound is guitar driven. It always has been. Originally, the guitars
that did the driving were an eclectic bunch, typical of the sixties era and its quest for a
definitive rock tone. In the earliest version of the Stones, when guitar duties were divided
between Brian Jones and Keith Richards, Jones played a Gretsch hollowbody electric
(a smoke green Anniversary model), and Richards used a Harmony hollowbody
electric (a sunburst Meteor). These were played into Vox AC-30 tube amps, the amplifier
of choice for most British Invasion bands. (In fact, the Stones endorsed Vox in 1963.)
The ensuing years saw the band go through a plethora of instruments. Brian used a ...
