From Mod Beginnings to Rock Legends: Exploring The Small Faces and Faces Discography [Episode 208]

Booked On Rock with Eric Senich

Andrew Darlington is the author of the brand new book The Small Faces and The Faces: Every Album, Every Song.
They started out as a mod fourpiece with Steve Marriott on lead vocals. With hit singles including “Itchycoo Park”, “Lazy Sunday”, “All Or Nothing”, and “Tin Soldier”, they evolved into one of the UK’s most successful bands by the end of the 60s. After Marriott left the band to form Humble Pie, the remaining members Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan, and Kenney Jones joined forces with singer Rod Stewart and guitarist Ronnie Wood to start a new era as Faces. The band’s 1971 album A Nod Is As Good As a Wink... to a Blind Horse, became a worldwide hit, thanks to the single, "Stay with Me". But by the mid-70s, Faces was no more and the members would go on to forge new phases of their careers, most notably Rod Stewart. But the music of the Small Faces and Faces is not forgotten. In the latest book in Sonicbond’s On Track series, Darlington lays out the full story of the Small Faces and Faces song-by-song, from the very start, to the very end.
