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

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Best known for their alumni (Rod Stewart, the Stones' Ron Wood, the Who's Kenny Jones), the Faces' brief early 1970s run was as musically rewarding as it was boozy and sideshow spectacular. A revamped, bluesier edition of '60s English pop notables the Small Faces, the Faces established a rollicking musical identity that threatened to overshadow the Stones at their own game. Though the group dissolved under the pressures of Stewart's burgeoning solo career and Wood's recruitment into comfortable career Stonedom, the Faces were about much more than just individual talents. The folksy vulnerability of the late bassist, songwriter, and vocalist Ronnie Lane (well-represented here by "Debris" and "Ooh La La") kept the lads close to roots both geographical and class, while keyboardist Ian McLagen alternated between barrelhouse-boogie and Hammond B-3 soulfulness and Jones loosely locked into irresistible grooves. They could pillage Motown ("Three Button Hand Me Down") and Chuck Berry ("Cindy Incidentally") for riffs, and turn from countrified blues ("Sweet Lady Mary") to the breakneck boogie of "Too Bad" in a heartbeat. They may have been cheated of hits, but the Faces' music remains warm, heartfelt, and enthusiastic--a legacy that's aged much better than the cheap hootch they once drowned themselves in. --Jerry McCulley

Product Description

4.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff 27 Dec 2005
Format:Audio CD
This is a superb album for those who have only heard "Stay With Me". It has complimentary rockers like "Bad 'n' Ruin" and especially "Too Bad", but also the softer Ronnie Lane songs like "Debris".

It's got that Stonesy, tight-but-loose, early 70's feel to it, but with a good time vibe instead of the undercurrent of menace that the Stones albums of the same era had.

Well worth buying to remind you that Rod was once great (see also "Every Picture Tells A Story") and that Ronnie Lane's stuff is well worth seeking out.

Best of the Faces as a title speaks volumes Rod and Woody were always in the limelight but Ian Maclagan is a fantastic keyboard player up there with Jools now when Jools was just a nipper , Kenny Jones and Ronnie Lane probably one of the best rhythmn sections going together they had edsge and this compilation reflects that . Really don't know what caused the rift some say Britt Eckland who knows but Rod sold out and has slowly sunk to what he is now a shallow imitation of Sinatra , Tony Bennett , Dean Martin peddling second rate versions of the Great American Songbook .

I was quite excited to hear that Woody was trying to organise a reunion tour but when Rod said no I guess they decided bad idea plus of course the great Ronnie Lane is sadly no longer with us . If they change their mind and Rod still says no then look no further than Paul Rodgers who can get further street cred back after the disaasterous Queen escapade despite his recent return to form gigs.

Buy this album it covers a band who were an icon in their era which grew from the Small Faces , an icon of the 60s , and before Rod became a sad shadow of former glories in the noughties.
