This week’s song is called Ronnie and is a tribute to Ronnie Lane, bass player and songwriter for The Small Faces and The Faces.
I’ve always loved Ronnie’s music but it wasn’t until I was introduced to his solo stuff that I became a devotee. The Bank of England regularly cover his only solo hit How Come but I’d quite cheerfully do a whole set of his. I’ve tried writing something about him before and have an unused song called Take A Walk Down Ronnie Lane, which is a nice title but I’ve never managed to finish the thing. I think I can write a better one than this about him actually and might try to do so sometime. God bless ya Ronnie.

If you are interested in hearing Ronnie’s solo music this compilation is a good way to start, but any of it, including Rough Mix his album with Pete Townshend, is wonderful. Here’s where you can listen at Last FM
