The Ronnie Wood Show with special guest Toots Hibbert
SkyArts1, Broadcast 20th April 2012









Top artists join Ronnie Wood for impromptu jamming, lively chat and a chance to reminisce 
about the wild days of rock'n'roll


Ska and reggae legend Toots Hibbert joins Ronnie in his London studio 


The old friends kick things off with a little improvised jamming session before Ronnie 
chooses his first track, Monkey Man, one of Toots' own from 1969. The song is about Toots' girlfriend, 
who left him for a man who was "so ugly", has been covered numerous times, most famously 
by Amy Winehouse and British ska group The Specials.

The pair exchange anecdotes on Bob Marley before playing along to Desmond Dekker & The Aces' 1968 hit Israelites. 
Toots discusses the early days of his career in Jamaica and asks to listen to The Harder 
They Come by fellow Jamaican Jimmy Cliff, Willie Nelson's Still is Still Moving to Me, 
and Soul singer James Carr's You've Got My Mind Messed Up which hit the R&B charts in 1966.

Ronnie and Toots take hold of their guitars once more to jam along to Lowell Fulson's Reconsider Baby, 
before listening to Thriller by Michael Jackson and playing us out with one of Ronnie's 
favourite Toots Hibbert songs, Pressure Drop.

The pair may hail from different musical backgrounds but here in the studio it is clear 
that they share one thing in common: when they're playing and listening to music, it's all about having fun.
