Ronnie: The Autobiography

A member of the legendary Rolling Stones since 1976, veteran musician Ron Wood finally tells his story--unsanitized, raw, nasty, and fascinating. This no-holds-barred autobiography also offers a glimpse into the inner workings of the huge machine that allows the Stones to perform so successfully and steadily around the world. Four 8-page color inserts.

From the first time he performed officially as a Rolling Stone, careening down New York’s Fifth Avenue on a flatbed truck playing “Brown Sugar,” Ron Wood has been a key member of the world’s greatest rock and roll band. Now he finally tells his story—unsanitized, raw, nasty and fascinating, Ron Wood is about musicianship at the peak of its powers and also a glimpse at the inner workings of the huge machine that allows the Stones to perform so successfully and steadily around the world. It’s also the story of the big personalities that dominated rock from the 1960’s onward—Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend. And, of course, the bandmates themselves: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Charlie Watts. Chronicling the talent and determination of rock’s greatest generation, Ron Wood will surprise and mesmerize listeners.
