We've Got Our Own Podcast To Do (Ron Wood and Wye Hill Kitchen & Brewing)

All right.

So when I asked you for an album, you, I don't think with too much hesitation, offered this one up and said this would be your desert island album, and that's fascinating to me 'cause I've known you for a long time, and you've turned me on to a lot of music.

And when you suggested that, I was like, wow, not that this style of music comes out of left field, but that that choice almost came out of left field for me.

So I'm curious how you discovered that and why this has become such an important album for you.

Well, everybody that's involved with it I've been a fan of, all the members of, that have played on this record, from The Stones and The Faces and Jeff Beck Group.

But anyway, this record was a, a record of songs, and I- The characters and around making that record, I just think it's really sort of organic.

And the songs are great, which I guess should have said first.

First, it's great songs.

Right.

And it just ...

Ronnie Wood is like Zelig.

No kidding.

He's everywhere and with a guitar in his hand, always on somebody's stage, always on somebody's record.

And this record was sort of him calling it home, because it was made in his home in London at a house that he had just bought called The Wick, and I just loved everything about it.

Plus, the ...

It was kind of obscure and obtuse in the, in the ... 'Cause looking at the record cover, there's not a lot of information.
