While\u2019s he\u2019s best known as Keith Richards\u2019 co-guitarist in the Rolling Stones (where he replaced Mick Taylor, who replaced Brian Jones), Wood has had a long and creatively fruitful career before and outside the Stones. Here are five recordings that showcase his superb musicianship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cYou Shook Me\u201d (1968)<\/strong> \u2013 As bassist in the Jeff Beck Group, Wood played alongside the former Yardbirds guitarist, drummer Mick Waller and a young vocalist called Rod Stewart.
