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


CD Description

When this was released in 1971, the Faces also released LONG PLAYER (following the dropping of "Small" from the band's name) and frontman Rod Stewart released the seminal EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY. The three-album output was especially remarkable for the Faces, as the band was more known for skirt-chasing and carousing than recording music. NOD found the Faces fusing together a grittier blues and soul sound than on past efforts, which were marked by a rather modish sound and Stewart's then-folkier leanings.
The group includes enough heartfelt ruminations to add a sentimental edge to the otherwise rip-roaring mix of material. Among the latter class of songs are a shambling cover of Chuck Berry's "Memphis, Tennessee" and "Stay With Me", the Faces' only hit and the quintessential groupie kiss-off. Stewart's talents as a balladeer are no less effective, with songs like the poignant "Love Lives Here" and the Ronnie Lane-penned duet "Debris", an unheralded classic every bit as emotionally devastating as "Wild Horses". Lane's singing and songwriting also shine on the barroom anthem "Last Orders Please" and the whimsically swaggering "You're So Rude", a song about getting caught in acompromising position with a sassy girlfriend during a family visit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ten star album, 30 Jan 2004
By J. Norrish "jnorrish" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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 Their finest hour - the lads at their best, 4 Oct 2001
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 (Brunswick Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
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!
