I’ve always thought Mick Ronson was one of the most underrated guitarist in rock music.
Mick is the focus of a new documentary called, Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story.
His main foil and fan, David Bowie, provided exclusive voiceovers for the film, which looks at the late Ronson’s under-appreciated career as a sideman for artists like Bob Dylan (as a member of the Rolling Thunder Revue), Lou Reed (on Transformer), John Mellencamp (on “Jack and Diane”) and main guitarist on five Bowie albums, including Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars and Aladdin Sane.
Perhaps now Mick will get his due.
Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story will begin a nationwide run of cinemas starting September 1st, with a home video release to follow on October 27th.
