Ron Wood Knihy

The first publication to showcase the visual art of the Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood

Here's the inside story: the history of the Rolling Stones - according to the Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and Ronnie Wood have come together for this remarkable project. They've also opened up their personal and band archives to include many rare and intimate images that are interwoven with the text. The book gets right to the heart of what makes the Stones the Stones, as musicians, songwriters, performers, and colleagues. They describe how their music has evolved and how it has affected and changed their lives. They also reveal, with refreshing frankness, how their own lives have helped, or hindered, their music-making. The Stones' own words - insightful, funny, poignant, surprising, and above all, completely authentic - are complemented by insider reflections from key players in their story over the years such as Ahmet Ertegun, David Bailey, and Cameron Crowe. A comprehensive reference section including discography, and chronology, studded with the Stones' personal comments on the music and memories, completes this must-read volume. Here, in their own words and images, is the life and work of a band which has played the soundtrack of our lives for the last forty years.

This is an up-front and personal look at life as a Rolling Stone as Ronnie tries to understand Mick and Keith; runs a $5,000 a week cocaine habit; makes millions, loses them, and makes them again; survives bad managers, the mob, and his own demons; and realizes that his life is on the verge of being critically out of control and finally begins to save it. It's a roller-coaster ride of unbelievable highs and unimaginable lows. It is also the story of big personalities: Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend.
