The Ronnie Wood Show with Mick Hucknall
SkyArts1, broadcast 30th March 2012
Top artists join Ronnie Wood for impromptu jamming, lively chat and a chance to reminisce
about the wild days of rock'n'roll
Ronnie and Mick listen to Miss Judy's Farm by The Faces before Mick gets
to talking about the Jimmy Reed (Live at Carnegie Hall) album he bought at
15 which got him started on blues.
Mick brings his curly red hair and sunglasses into the studio to reminisce over
and play along to his and Ronnie's favourite tracks, with a few rock 'n' roll stories
shared along the way.
Music helps all the stories flood back, Ronnie says, as he listens to
The Wind Cries Mary and recalls stories about his friend and former Holland Park
flatmate Jimi Hendrix: what he was like to live with, how jealous he
became of Jimi's famous ambidextrous guitar-playing talent, and the final words Jimi
spoke to him before his untimely death in 1970.
He also reveals how Janis Joplin was almost a One Night Stand,
joking about how "the spotty girl with the bottle of Southern Comfort" would chase
him around parties, shouting," I want the one with black hair!", and reveals why
the late Gregory Isaacs still owes him to this day.
The Simply Red frontman helps Ronnie choose a playlist, sing Bob Dylan's One
of Us Must Know, a song they have recently been learning together, and chat
about rock 'n' roll, song writing and music legends of times gone by.
