Biography

Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

When Steve Marriott left the Small Faces in 1969, the three remaining members brought in guitarist Ron Wood and lead singer Rod Stewart to complete the lineup and changed their name to the Faces, which was only appropriate since the group now only slightly resembled the mod-pop group of the past. Instead, the Faces were a rough, sloppy rock & roll ... Read more in Amazon's Faces Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Ten star album 30 Jan 2004
By J. Norrish
Format:Audio CD
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars What do you get a 50 year old who has everything-almost.? 30 Dec 2006
By A. Gould
Format:Audio CD
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANIAGAAWTABH 18 Aug 2003
By "perrysj"
Format:Audio CD
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Their finest hour - the lads at their best 4 Oct 2001
By ian@iwoodborne.fsnet.co.uk
Format:Audio CD
Any album which has such a quirky title is either going to be rubbish, relying on the title to shift units or simply brilliant. This offering from Rod and co is definitely in the latter category.

Mixing the "first one past the post is the winner" bravado of Miss Judy's Farm, Memphis and the anthem Stay with Me together with the Ronnie Lane classics such as Debris and You'r so Rude is a total winning formula.

To me though, the two greats were never really Faces classics - Love Lived Here, Ron Wood at his most laidback, almost soulful and That All You Need which concluded the album with Ron stratocasting furiously into the sunset.

They don't make them like this anymore.The only shame is the CD does not come with the dodgy poster which accompanied the vinyl.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Faces Best by Far 1 Aug 2006
By Geoffrey Millar
Format:Audio CD
What a a terrific album! From the killer opening Miss Judy's Farm, to the great rocker Too Bad and the best ever cover of Chuck Berry's Memphis, this doesn't have a dud track. The production is excellent and the sound is rich, warm, and complements the songs beautifully.

Ronnie Lane's songs are great, too: Debris, You're So Rude and Love Lived Here are wry, funny and as good as anything else on the album.

Rod Stewart once said his goal was 'to 'make the f - - perfect album'. Well, he just about did it with this CD: buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars This one's better than a nod and a wink! 6 Sep 2001
By ndhanjal@hallmarknetworkuk.com
Format:Audio CD
This has to rate as my favourite Faces album. Rod and company are in top form throughout the whole album. Right from the corking opening number, Miss Judy's Farm right down to the ace Faces anthem, Stay With Me (what great lyrics), this is one Faces album all purveyors and lovers of strong early 70s rock must own.

5.0 out of 5 stars The original ' lads ' album. Superb. 22 May 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I write this review not from hearing this particular CD version , but from the memories of playing the original vinyl.It does not need track by track analysis. Any-one who grew up with Rod and the boys will know it and love it.

The present generation ( who I understand are starting to show an appreciation of the grand old men of rock such as The Who or so my 18 yr old daughter tells me )need to listen to the marvellously politically incorrect and probably very sexist songs, notably ' Stay with me '.

Just buy it and listen. Fun and not bad music either.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rod never sounded better than this. 4 Dec 2010
By Mr. M. L. Hawes VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
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. This is straight forward, good time rock and roll. Brilliantly played, fabulously sung and with that very special ingredient that separates the best rock bands from those who are only in it for the money.

The Faces were and are still one of the finest exponents of this genre and this album is one of their finest. Yes, as a new fan you could buy the best of, but as any fan will tell you, that only tells you half the story.

Each and every album by bands like Faces, Beatles and the Who for example contains tracks that will jump out at you that wont find their way onto a best of, so what to do? Basically buy them all, sit back and fall in love with rock all over again.
