About
The fourth and final Faces album serves as the curtain call for one of the ‘70s’ greatest rock bands. Rod Stewart’s massive solo success destroyed the camaraderie that had fueled the quartet since the beginning. With Stewart distracted by his solo projects, his bandmates had more control over <i>Ooh La La</i>, and keyboardist Ian McLagan later referred to it as “Ronnie Lane’s album.” Lane had always been the band’s secret weapon. His small-guy sweetness helped to counter Stewart’s overwhelming machismo and saved the Faces from being just another chest-beating hard rock band. While <i>Ooh La La</i> does feature some of the group’s most powerful rock songs (the Stewart-led “Silicone Grown,” “My Fault” and “Borstal Boys”), the album’s heart grows out of Lane’s material. Love songs don’t come more gentle or genuine than “If I’m On the Late Side” and “Glad and Sorry,” while “Just Another Honky” and “Ooh la la” prove that the Faces’ essence was ragged and wistful, not tough and blustering.
