[...] if the Faces did decide to reconvene, it would disrupt the solo career of not just Rod Stewart. Ronnie Wood – arguably the highest profile musician after Stewart in his post-Faces work – has [...]

coincidentally just posted Marissa Nadler’s recent cover of “jealous guy.” interesting to hear it from a woman’s perspective.

While I enjoyed both versions of “Jealous Guy” (piano on Faces version is great – in a cheesy way), Hathaway’s really struck me. Hathaway oozes massive quantities of soul and funk that his music captivates. The guy was amazing.

I love Donny’s version even more than Lennon’s, thanks for posting it to remind to pull out that record …

I recently read that the reunion was off…arguments with Rod over money. Plus, he reportedly wanted the amps to be beneath the stage. (Apparently that’s how he does it now.)

I think it’s the old timey piano that makes both of them work really well. It gives the songs a much lighter feel then the original.

Why do you suppose they would tour without Tetsu?

I think they should stop letting old rock bands have reunions unless at least one member is missing.

Ideally all but one member will not be part of the reunion tour. If this happened we could have so much fake outrage and/or reunion tours would just become irrelevant.

As Bruce Springsteen said, “You can’t start a scene without ending it first,” or was did he say, “can’t start a fire without a spark?” Oh right, it was the latter, the former was me.

Cheers,
Aaron.

In spite of the fact I am not a Rod Stewart fan, I have enjoyed the Faces catalog (what little I’ve heard). I also have not listened to much Donny Hathaway (I’ve concentrated on newer music and used to think of him as the guy who sang with Roberta Flack – recently I’ve learned that Donny was pretty funky in his early days) but I’ve started gaining interest in his music after reading an interview on Pitchfork with Justin Vernon, who gave Hathaway accolades. I will have to get the Donny Hathaway Live album, as I am fan of ultra-funky music.

A Faces reunion sounds great, but without Ronnie Lane, how is it really the same?

Man, I love me some Faces. People always look at me like I’m totally insane when I tell them that Rod Stewart used to be cool and that the Faces are essential rock n roll.

Also? This is why I love your guys’s site over other music blogs – a healthy dose of the old shit.
