Stewart's late 60's and early 70's stuff on Mercury label were very good. I always thought the Faces backed him on all those great albums - The Rod Stewart Album (69), Gasoline Alley (70), Every Picture Tells A Story (71) and Never A Dull Moment (72). There were just one or two or three Faces on almost every song, but only a handful only Stewart and all The Faces - Every Picture Tells A Story, I'm Losing You, Jodie, My Way of Giving, Oh No Not My Baby and True Blue.

Without the Faces would we have the Sex Pistols, Replacements, or GBV? Those bands may not sound alike but they all definitely drew from the Faces well. Heck I think you could make the argument that Van Halen owes a great deal to the Faces. What a fantastic band. Time to dig up some Humble Pie and give Steve Marriott his due.

The amount of talent Rod Stewart had and then squandered was summed up nicely in the last airing of that Faces show on VH1 Classic. The Faces show is amazing and they filled out the last 5-7 minutes of the hour by showing the video for Blondes Have More Fun. It's astounding to see an artist fall that far that fast. Great post.

But I have to say that the most rock and roll part of "Stay With Me" is the line "You can have your cab fare home, You can even wear my best cologne/ Just don't be here in the morning when I wake up." So wrong. So right.... Agree on all the Faces stuff– just a goldmine.

Great band, great players. I've always really dug the album Ronnie Lane made with Pete Townshend called 'Rough Mix', back in the late 70's. Ron Wood also made a solo album called 'Gimme Some Neck', roughly around the same time. Both are well worth checking out. Glad to see all the love for the Faces. Great band, great players.

Wood wrote or co-wrote some great songs with The Faces (including "Ooh La La" which he [not Rod or the glorious Ronnie Lane..who co-wrote the song] sang). Ronnie was kick ass, but the Glimmer Twins are known for sucking the kick ass out of any of their band members...

My wife and I got some free tickets to see Rod's show in St. Louis this year. He got sick right before the show and the had to postpone it for a few days. He said they don't usually do "Stay With Me," but they decided to do it because of the postponement. I have to admit despite all the Las Vegas glitz and being in the round, he and the band did a pretty good job. He didn't do any of the standards and, yes, he did the stupid songs too, but all in all it wasn't too bad for a man in his 60's. I would love to see him back with a small band, on a small stage playing these old songs. Now *that* would be something to see.

As Steve mentioned the two albums with the Jeff Beck Group - especially Truth - are great. That version of the Jeff Beck Group were supposed to give Led Zeppelin a run for its money. The stuff Rod did between 1969 and 1972 is some of the best music from that era. His first four solo albums were also backed by the Faces and all are very good.
