Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood take Vernon Kay through their lives and careers in ten songs.
Mick talks of the ramshackle way the band’s first songs were recorded, how he was destined to be a frontman, about meeting one of his heroes Muddy Waters, being excited to work with Paul McCartney on their new album, and the importance of Charlie Watts posthumously featuring on the record.
Ronnie talks about being inspired to learn to play music by his older brothers, teaching himself riffs by his heroes such as Chuck Berry, and how he joined the band in the mid-70s bringing his first ideas whilst using his house to record their songs. He also discusses the guitar part he wrote after hearing of Brian Wilson’s passing and his own memories of Charlie Watts.
Tracks Of My Years is a weekly show where Vernon Kay talks to a special guest about their life and career and their favourite songs.
