Mick Ronson

I don't know that www.radiofreephoenix.com will tear me away from my musical first loves of Applied Metal and Prog (*), but they are introducing me to a host of obscure acts. . One of which is ("was" actually) Mick Ronson. RFP played a track from his Heaven And Hull album called "Life's A River". Absolutely fantastic guitar work. Ronson worked with David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust days, and was chums with Ian Hunter as well. I'm definitely gonna have to ask RFP to play some more of his stuff. (*) : well okay. I like folk too. And bluegrass. And anything psychedelic. And light classical. And Pink Floyd is sacred in this house. And today I listened to some Gangsta Rap that was unexpectedly good.
