Live concert from the American folk blues singer celebrating three
decades in the music business. Recorded in New York's Madison
Square Garden, Dylan was joined on stage by a plethora of musical

Ronnie Wood is one of the foremost rock guitarists in the world,
but his artistic talents extend beyond music. Throughout his
stellar musical career from The Birds to the Faces and the Rolling
Stones, Ronnie has never lost his passion for painting, drawing and
sculpture. Exuding the same irrepressible energy as Ronnie himself,
Ronnie Wood: Artist is the first ever comprehensive collection of
his paintings and other artworks, created to mark the occasion of
his seventieth birthday. The bright, bold volume brings together
the fruits of a lifetime in the arts, brimming with six decades of
memorable and diverse work, from his art college portfolio (he
studied alongside Pete Townshend) to the intimate work of his
personal life today. Inside, a generous selection of his Stones
work, including rare watercolours of Mick, Keith and Charlie
backstage, meets acrylics of contemporaries Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck
and Keith Moon. Portraits of formative jazz innovators Count Basie,
Miles Davis and Billie Holiday sit alongside blues heroes Howlin'
Wolf, Muddy Waters and Big Bill Broonzy. Paintings of Hollywood's
elite - Paul Newman, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe - juxtapose
real-time fashion sketches of Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell and deft
pastel compositions from his residency at the Royal Ballet. The
artist himself provides the captions and insights into the thought
and motivation behind each piece. With an introduction by Emmanuel
Guigon (director of the Museu Picasso, Barcelona, where Ronnie will
be beginning a residency in 2018) and an afterword by none other
than Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood: Artist exists where fine art and
rock 'n' roll collide. This extensive and eclectic collection
offers unique insights into the entire world of Ronnie Wood, and,
with close to 400 works, is a fitting testament to the artistic
range and ambition of rock 'n' roll's most successful artist
Ronnie Wood is one of rock's true originals. This is his story, in
his own words, about his life, loves, family, friends, music, art
and survival against the odds. It's a roller-coaster ride of
unbelievable highs and unimaginable lows, From a small boy growing
up on a working class council estate not far from Heathrow Airport
who wanted to play music and paint - the first generation of his
"water gypsy" family to be born on dry land - to becoming one of
the most famous musicians in the world, Ronnie Wood toured the
world with his Rolling Stone bandmates - Mick, Keith, Charlie and,
for a while, Bill. And the five of them have, arguably, been seen
in person by more people on this planet than anyone else in the
history of mankind. But as mayhem and hysteria invariably followed
on Ronnie's adventure through the excesses of rock 'n roll, the
drugs got harder and his relationships - especially with Mick,
Keith, various women and his family - became increasingly more
complex. This is Ronnie the husband, father, grandfather and rock
star the way you have never seen any rock star before. RONNIE is an
up-front and personal look at life as a Rolling Stone, from the
inside, and at the Stones as the rest of the world has never seen
them. After RONNIE, drugs, sex and rock 'n roll will never be the
same again.
