Ronnie Wood

Ronnie Wood is my favorite kind of rock star: the one who seems genuinely grateful to be there. Joining the Rolling Stones in 1975 after Faces and the Jeff Beck Group could have left him a permanent new guy, yet his weaving guitar lines became essential to the band's chemistry, the glue between the riffs and the swagger. What seals my affection is the painting—he is a serious visual artist, not a celebrity dabbler, and that second discipline explains the looseness and color in his playing. Decades in, he still grins on stage like a kid who snuck in. That joy, more than any solo, is his real signature.
