🇬🇧 Morrissey "Your Arsenal" – 1992
The album that revitalised Morrissey’s solo career, it pairs his unmistakable wit and lyrical insight with a tougher, more guitar-driven sound. Produced by Mick Ronson, the record gives Morrissey one of the strongest musical backdrops of his career...

MICK RONSON
Slaughter On 10th Avenue
1974 Canada pressingAnother one I unearthed from the boxes in my basement, and another I forgot I had.
A glam rock record from Bowie’s guitarist in The Spiders From Mars, with orchestral arrangements; mixed with originals, covers and instrumentals. It’s the same lush sounding arrangements deployed on the early 70s Bowie albums.
The true gem here is “Only After Dark”, Ronson’s best known song about evening behaviours and desires.
There’s also a cool Bruce Springsteen cover of “Growing Up And I’m Fine”, a very obscure choice at the time by a then little-known artist from New Jersey.Fun record.

I’m not sure #DavidBowie comes out of this very well. Maybe he got bad advice at the time?
Anyway, this is a robust documentary about #MickRonson and how he never truly found his place, creatively, after leaving Bowie’s orbit. Ronson’s creative input during the collaborations with Bowie was clearly essential to that period. Bowie moved on after Ziggy Stardust and Mick couldn’t find the same magic with anyone else.

Happy #RollingThunder kickoff anniversary!
To celebrate, I spoke with the late, great #MickRonson's longtime partner Suzi about the touches of glam the famous #DavidBowie sideman brought to #BobDylan's band, and her own time on the road with the Revue.
