FACES

RON WOOD, ROD STEWART, KENNY JONES, IAN McLAGAN, RONNIE LANE

Boozy and bluesy rock & roll band of the '70s, fronted by Rod Stewart and guitarist Ron Wood 

with a joyous spirit that proved very influential.  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 band, able to pound out a rocker like "Had Me a Real Good Time," 

a blues ballad like "Tell Everyone," or a folk number like "Richmond" all in one album

SLEEVE STRONG VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)

 Fresh from their seminal work with Jeff Beck, Rod and Ron bring a healthy dose of Beck's powerful bastardized blues, 

bracingly heard on the opening cover of "Wicked Messenger," but there's a key difference here; 

without Beck's guitar genius, this roar doesn't sound quite so titanic, it hits in the gut. 

That can also be heard and Rod and Woody's "Around the Plynth," or "Three Button Hand Me Down," 

which is ragged rocking at its finest. Combine that with Ronnie Lane and Ian McLagan finding 

their ways as songwriters in the wake of the Small Faces' mod implosion, and this goes in even more directions. 

Lane unveils his gentle, folky side on "Stone," McLagan kicks in "Looking Out the Window" 

and "Three Button Hand Me Down." All these are moments that are good, often great, but the record 

doesn't quite gel, yet that doesn't quite matter. the Faces is a band that proves that sometimes loose ends 

are as great as tidiness, that living in the moment is what's necessary, and this 

First Step is a record filled with individual moments, each one to be savored...(AllMusic)
