Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Sixties Britpoppers the Small Faces begat the Faces, the reshaped 1970s version. Of course, the latter-day incarnation of the band was best known for its lead singer, Rod Stewart, and his unique, squalling voice. The players, meanwhile, displayed Stones-ish sensibilities, which makes sense given that guitarist Ron Wood left the group to join Jagger, Richards, and the boys. Faces didn't release a great number of albums, but during their tumble on the rock charts, they made some truly great songs, several of which are found on this, their consensus classic. "Stay with Me" sounds like a bar room brawl set to music, and "Miss Judy's Farm" puts one in mind of a garage band that got lucky and found a studio and a (somewhat) sober producer. A Nod... is the most representative recording of a band that helped shape hard rock and punk for years to come. --Lorry Fleming

There are very few albums which are indispensable. The Beatles Revolver, Stones Exile on Maine Street and the like. For me, truly great records capture a moment. You listen to them, and they transport you to another place.
The Faces and solo Rod Stewart were never as good as this before or since. From the opening 'Miss Judy's Farm' which is awesome, the songs just get better and better. Their interpretation of Chuck Berry's Memphis Tenessee followed by 'Too Bad' followed by 'That's all you need' will make you feel grateful that you're alive. That's the thing with 'A Nod's as ...'- you feel so alive.
I dug this out of my garage the other day, put it on for the first time in five years and was dumbfounded. How could I leave it in my garage? How dare I deny myself its energy, humour and atmosphere for that long? Shame on me! Shame on you too if you miss out on it.
Buy it, forget about Rod Stewart warbling Tom Waits songs, turn the volume up and listen to a great rock and roll band sitting at the top of the tree!

If you don't have this album then you are missing possibly one of the best rock albums of all time. From the classic Stay with Me to Debris and Chuck Berry's Memphis. The combined talents of Ron, Ronnie, Ian and Rod writing song and tunes that put today's so called stars to shame. A raunchy "That's all you need" completes a fine collection - buy it you'll not regret it.

The annual drama of "what do you want for Christmas,dear?", was resolved this year with the this CD. Talk about relive old times. It's fantastic and shows Rod Stewart was good once upon a time! However my two favourite tracks are 'You're so rude' and 'Debris' led by Ronnie Lane with a bit of harmony(?) from Rod Stewart. Additionally the old favourite 'Stay with Me' sounds much better on my car CD than it did on my Mum and Dad's stereogram back in the 70's. Even my 12 year old enjoyed it on his way back from his guitar lesson where he plays The Kooks and The Killers tracks. Highly recommended for 50 year olds everywhere.

A fantastic album, great vocals, thanks to Rod and Ronnie, great guitar rifts and great songs. Not a trace of a duff or filler track. Read more

Good album
Perhaps not as good as Long Player but still vintage Faces. They always seem to be having fun making their music.

Rod never sounded better than this.
It's difficult to imagine a better setting for Rod Stewarts rasping rock vox than in this setting of the best bar room band of them all. Read more

Great music history
A band whose music influenced Oasis and the Black Crows is an extremely high accolade. If you like proper music with history, buy this.

A Nods as Good as a Wink to a Blind Horse
No problems with the product, however, the only disppointment was that it was a present for my wifes' birthday and was too late in arriving.

A small pinch of salt....
For me this album begs more questions than it really answers because in a word the whole deal is one of supreme simplicity. Read more
