Ronnie Wood


Dude, Ronnie Wood is one of the best guitarists/partiers of all time.  Cut his teeth with the Jeff Beck Group back in the '60s, then hung out with Rod Stewart on Stewart's incredible first few solo albums, and got really fucked up with him in their side project, The Faces.  Cut a couple solo albums, with most of the songs about drinking or screwing.  (On a side note, his first disc, I've Got My Own Album To Do (1974), had the song "Mystifies Me" on it, which Son Volt covered on their brilliant first album, Trace.)  Joined the Stones in 1976 on the Black and Blue album, and has been partyin' with them ever since.  Oh yeah, he's 54...and went into rehab for like the fifth time this spring.  That takes dedication, suckas.
