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.

Spin (p.106) - "[The compilation] may be a truer picture than any single album."

Q (p.137) - 5 stars out of 5 - "[They] suffused their rock with a wonderfully contagious roll....[With] an underlying grasp of the same influences that defined the early -'70s Stones..."
Uncut (p.106) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]he Faces were the perfect post-mod/blues-boom gang of good-time charlies, deeply steeped in American soul but also in English folk-rock."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.122) - 5 stars out of 5 - "[A] cover of The Beach Boys' 'Getting' Hungry,' from the group's final recording sessions, reveal a band still with much to offer..."

Recording information: 1970 - 1976.

Released at a time when lead singer Rod Stewart was exploring the Great American Songbook, the music presented on FIVE GUYS WALK INTO A BAR... reinforces the argument that the Faces were one of rock's great overlooked bands. The quintet's ease around a bar never diminished the organic musicianship that found them easily melding their love of rock & roll, blues, and soul.

Fueled by Ron Wood's stellar guitar work, Ian McLagan's fluid keyboard playing, and the rock-solid rhythm section of Ronnie Lane and Kenney Jones, the Faces shared space with Stewart's burgeoning solo career, but still managed to crank out four excellent studio albums in less than six years. Not only are these records all included in their entirety in this four-disc collection, but the band's official output is practically doubled here by way of numerous live BBC performances, alternate versions, and rehearsal tapes. Along with the soaring passion of "Flying," fall-down raucousness of "Stay with Me," and unheralded Lane-penned classic "Debris" are loving covers of tunes by John Lennon, Luther Ingram, Free, and Robert Johnson. Words can't do justice to the wealth of musical manna to be found in this wonderfully annotated and compiled package.
