The Talented Mr. Wood


Ron Wood has had some pretty negative press lately. His troubles with alcohol seem to be extensive. I'd like to take the opportunity to point out that Ronnie is a hard working musician and artist. Not only has he played on every Stones album since 1974 but he has also recorded his own albums and helped out a multitude of friends. His latest solo project, Live & Eclectic, was released in May of this year.

Here are the performer lists from each of Ronnie's solo efforts. You'll find the "usual suspects" but there are some surprises too. All these people willingly play with Ronnie. They are a tribute to his talent. Their names speak for themselves.
