Album Notes Full title: The Best Of Faces: Good Boys...When They're Asleep.The Faces: Ron Wood (vocals, guitar, harmonica, bass); Ronnie Lane (vocals, guitar, bass, tambourine); Rod Stewart (vocals); Ian McLagan (piano, Hammond organ, harmonium, Clavinet); Tetsu Yamauchi (bass); Kenney Jones (drums).Producers: The Faces, Glyn Johns.Compilation producers: Ian McLagan, Patrick Milligan, Gary Stewart.Recorded between 1970 and 1975. Includes liner notes by Dave Marsh.Digitally remastered by Dan Hersch & Bill Inglot (DigiPrep).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.
Editorial Reviews 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 (9/99, p.94) - ...[shows] a band experimenting with different shades and trying manfully to get a vibe... Q (11/01/1999)
