In other recent Rolling Stones news, the band recently issued the second of their online archive concert series albums, this one featuring Wood and his bandmates performing in support of 1981′s ‘Tattoo You’“I’m so excited to have my own radio show in America. I love going down the archives every week playing some of my favorite music of all time, while reminiscing and taking a trip down memory lane. It’s more than a music show, it’s an education, so sit back and enjoy the ride!”
