The Faces Artist Snapshot:

As the swinging 1960s turned into the '70s, UK mod/psych-pop heroes the Small Faces splintered into different directions, one of which was the Faces. Fronted by future Stones guitarist Ron Wood and future superstar Rod Stewart, the Faces were one of the key rock & roll bands of the early '70s, a brash, swaggering, alcohol-fueled font of bluesy, good-time music. Over time, Stewart became focused on his solo career and the Faces (who also backed him on his own albums) took a back seat. By 1975 the band fell apart. Subsequently, Wood joined the Stones, Ronnie Lane went solo, and Kenney Jones replaced Keith Moon in the Who.

Review

Q (11/99, p.147) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...a magnificent, irreverent gesture in an era of burgeoning rock'n'roll careerism, hard rock humor bypasses and the archness of glam. Back then, no band transferred so much glee to tape and none played to so engagingly booze-lubed and rickety..."
Mojo (Publisher) (9/99, p.94) - "...[shows] a band experimenting with different shades and trying manfully to get a vibe..."

This best-of collection celebrates all the endearing strengths of the Faces. After the Small Faces lost founder Steve Marriott, they shortened their name and added the lanky duo of Rod Stewart and Ron Wood. Their four studio albums were released in three years at the beginning of the '70s. The band combined a bracing mix of confidence and innocence, as well as the casual abandon of their playing and songwriting smarts. The Faces toured constantly, making the stage their home, and in between tours they'd record their albums, then get right back out on the road.

This set culls the wonderful highlights from those albums along with a few selections from their short tenure after Ronnie Lane departed the band. As rough-and-tumble as the band sometimes sounds, there's never a note here that doesn't sound completely honest. For anyone unfamiliar with the pleasures to be had from the Faces, start here.
