About Ronnie Wood

In the rain-slicked chaos of the 1975 Rolling Stones Tour of the Americas, Ronnie Wood didn’t just step into a band—he rewired its DNA. When he replaced Mick Taylor mid-tour, he brought not just slide guitar fluency and instinctive counterpoint to Keith Richards’ riffs, but a painter’s ear for texture: layering dobro on 'Tumbling Dice', weaving double-tracked Telecaster harmonies into 'Fool to Cry', and locking into that telepathic two-guitar groove that turned live Stones shows from spectacle into conversation. His studio fingerprints are subtle but structural—no flashy solos, just rhythmic anchoring, atmospheric fills, and the kind of phrasing that breathes *between* the beats. Offstage, his oil canvases—painted in the same London studio where he tracked 'Some Girls'—reveal the same sensibility: thick impasto strokes beside delicate line work, rock stars rendered with the intimacy of family portraits, never icons. That duality—gritty yet precise, spontaneous yet deeply considered—is his signature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Ronnie Wood write any Rolling Stones songs credited solely to him?
No—he has no sole writing credits on official Stones albums. His contributions are almost entirely as an arranger and co-performer, though he co-wrote 'Too Rude' (1986) and 'Driving Me Wild' (2005) with Jagger/Richards. His influence lives in reinterpretation: reshaping 'Start Me Up' from a reggae demo into its final stomp, or adding the gospel-inflected piano intro to 'Waiting on a Friend.'
What guitars did Ronnie Wood use on 'Some Girls'?
He primarily used his 1955 Les Paul Custom ('The Fool') and a Fender Telecaster for rhythm tracks, plus a Dobro on 'Far Away Eyes.' Notably, he recorded the iconic slide part on 'Respectable' using a 1930s National Triolian resonator through a Vox AC30—capturing that raw, nasal twang without effects.
How did Ronnie Wood's visual art intersect with his music career in the 1970s?
He designed the cover for Faces' 'First Step' (1970), painted stage backdrops for Stones tours starting in '75, and created all artwork for his solo albums 'I've Got My Own Album to Do' and 'Now Look'. His 1977 exhibition at London's Albemarle Gallery featured portraits of bandmates rendered in oils—done between soundchecks and overdub sessions at Pathé Marconi Studios.
Was Ronnie Wood involved in the production decisions for 'Exile on Main St.'?
He joined the Stones after 'Exile' was completed, but studied its raw, layered aesthetic closely. He later cited its 'room tone'—the bleed between mics, the clink of glasses, the distant laughter—as foundational to his own production philosophy, especially on 'Tattoo You,' where he insisted on recording basic tracks live in the same room with minimal isolation.
