When Faces formed in 1969, they brought a gritty, unpolished charm to rock music that perfectly captured the spirit of camaraderie and rebellion. The band emerged after the dissolution of Small Faces, with Ian McLagan on keyboards, Ronnie Lane on bass and vocals, and Kenney Jones on drums teaming up with guitarist Ronnie Wood and vocalist Rod Stewart, both formerly of the Jeff Beck Group. This merging of talents created a group whose sound combined bluesy rock with a loose, boisterous energy that set them apart from their contemporaries.

Faces released four studio albums between 1970 and 1973, each showcasing their signature blend of soulful ballads and raucous rock anthems. Their debut, First Step, introduced the band’s raw edge, while A Nod Is As Good As a Wink… to a Blind Horse in 1971 featured the breakout hit “Stay with Me,” which became an enduring rock staple. Their final studio album, Ooh La La, arrived in 1973 and included the reflective title track, later celebrated as a classic.

Throughout their career, Faces were celebrated for their electrifying live performances. With Rod Stewart’s raspy vocals, Ronnie Wood’s expressive guitar playing, and the rhythmic backbone provided by Lane, Jones, and McLagan, their shows were energetic, unpredictable, and packed with charisma. Stewart’s growing solo career created tension within the band, contributing to their eventual disbandment in 1975. Despite this, the chemistry between the members was undeniable and became central to their enduring legacy.

Faces helped shape the sound of 1970s rock, inspiring generations of musicians with their blend of blues, soul, and rock and roll. Their contributions were officially recognized in 2012 when Faces and Small Faces were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Beyond the band, the members pursued varied paths. Rod Stewart became one of the most successful solo artists in rock history, while Ronnie Wood joined The Rolling Stones. Kenney Jones went on to drum for The Who, and Ian McLagan maintained a respected career as a session musician and solo artist. Ronnie Lane, known for his heartfelt songwriting, devoted his later years to charity efforts before his death in 1997.

The group’s archive has continued to expand. Rhino’s 2015 collection You Can Make Me Dance, Sing or Anything (1970–1975) paired all four studio albums with rarities and previously unreleased material. In 2024, Faces at the BBC collected the band’s surviving BBC concerts and studio sessions, including numerous performances that had never previously been released.

Faces may not have had the longest original run, but their impact on rock music was profound. They embodied a raw, joyous approach to music that resonated deeply with fans and fellow artists alike. With songs celebrating life’s triumphs, disappointments, friendships, and excesses, they remain a touchstone for authenticity and passion in rock and roll.
