| | Mick Ronson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As a child, Mick played piano, recorder, violin, and harmonium. | | | Ronson's last ever recorded session was as a guest on the 1993 Wildhearts album Earth Vs The Wildhearts, where he played the guitar solo on the song "My Baby Is A Headfuck". | | | In 1980 the live album Welcome to the Club was released, including a couple of Ronson showcases, which curiously also had a few new studio tracks - one being a Hunter/Ronson song. |

| | The album reached No 9 in the UK chart, but the accompanying tour was a disappointment, and it became clear that Ronson's skills as a singer and songwriter were not sufficient to sustain a solo career. | | | The last Ian Hunter/Mick Ronson album, Yui Orta, was released in 1988, and in February 1989, the duo performed at the Dominion in London. | | | After receiving piano and violin lessons as a child, Ronson finally took up the guitar in his late teens. |

| | That was Mick (Ronson)'s favorite record, and he wasn't on it. | | | The song "China," which was sung by Mick Ronson, never made it onto a proper release. | | | Then Mick Jones says, "You're singing the rest of the album, let Mick sing this." I thought he sung it beautifully, because it's like a sea chantey sort of thing, and he sung it plaintive. |

| | Rock Ahead - CD review - Hunter Ronson - YUI Orta |
| | The album also includes some archive tracks from Mick Ronson, which might be enjoyed by Mick Ronson fans, but to me this album doesn't need bonus tracks. | | | However it was sadly to prove to be short lived as Mick Ronson was diagnosed with liver cancer shortly after the release of this album. | | | Following the tour to promote this album Mick was as previously mentioned diagnosed with the cancer he succumbed to a few years later and my one regret is that there was never going to be another album from this par again. |

| | The Spiders consisted of Mick (Ronno) Ronson (Band leader, arranger, guitar, piano and vocals); Mick (Woody) Woodmansey (drums) and Trevor Bolder (bass). | | | On and off-stage Ronson and Bowie were the perfect pairing, with Ronson providing not only dynamic acoustic and electric guitar, but importantly the skilful studio arrangement of Bowie's songs. | | | A modest, handsome Yorkshireman, Mick Ronson was undoubtedly the first superstar guitarist of the '70s. |

| | Mick Ronson’s legend was born, not through artistic merit, but rather through David Bowie’s attempt to orally stimulate Ronson’s guitar. | | | Ronson was remarkably ordinary and safe on the Ziggy album and it wasn’t until Aladdin Sane that he managed to make any sort of serious impression. | | | The next Bowie album of any note was Diamond Dogs, an album of startling brilliance and a powerhouse of guitar playing. |

| | Amazon.com: Play Don't Worry (Reis): Music: Mick Ronson |
| | Mick Ronson is and always will be one of my favorite guitarists, as well as all-around musician; his guitar sound is distinctive and recognizable, but equally impressive was his talent as a producer and arranger, having produced many classic albums by artists ranging from Lou Reed to Morrissey and even John Cougar Mellencamp. | | | Contrary to the typical bio, Ronson's career spanned a much wider spectrum of accomplishment than just being "David Bowie's guitar player".He produced a number of other artist's albums, guested on countless sessions, and released several excellent solo albums, of which this was one of the best. | | | Ronson also displays his more delicate and sensitive side on tracks like the excellent "The Empty Bed" (the overdubbed acoustic guitar intro is FABULOUS), and "Hazy Days", with it's infectious, feel-good-all-over atmosphere. |

| | In the decades to follow, it was this period of Ronson's activity that would have the most impact on both music listeners and musicians. | | | An important contributor to the development of rock and roll in the 1970s, Mick Ronson was raised in the Yorkshire community of Hull, where the shy youth soon immersed himself in the creation of music. | | | Near the end of his tenure with the band, Ronson was brought into the studio to add his playing to the Michael Chapman album Fully Qualified Survivor (1970), where he was given his first introduction to producer/musician Tony Visconti. |

| | Review: "Ronson, Mick: Just Like This" - Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive Music! |
| | Mick’s crystal clear tone, dripping with sustain and emotion, distorted and dirty as well on occasion, is at the forefront throughout these songs, and his Bowie-esque vocals fit the music perfectly. | | | This newly released set of previously unissued recordings from former David Bowie and Mott the Hoople guitarist, the late, great Mick Ronson, is a testament to the unique and signature style of this often overlooked musician. | | | Comprised of twelve tracks recorded in 1976 at Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, NY, this was to be the first sessions of the then “new” Mick Ronson band, after the two solo albums Slaughter on 10th Avenue and Play Don’t Worry. |
