Where the original Small Faces had been a quintessential British mod band, the reconfigured group instantly emerged as a boozy party band. FIRST STEP perfectly captures this new direction. All five members contribute to the songwriting in various capacities. The only outside material on the album is Bob Dylan's "Wicked Messenger," which slithers out of the gates with dirty slide guitar, sexy organ, and thundering drums. The Faces went onto enjoy the stateside success that had eluded their earlier incarnation. But Stewart's burgeoning solo career relegated the band to the shadows, and The Faces eventually dissolved.

The Small Faces offer a rare example of a band that underwent significant changes in personnel and musical focus yet succeeded in both incarnations. Founding singer/guitarist Steve Marriott left the band in 1969 to start Humble Pie. His replacements were a singer and a guitarist--in the individual persons of Rod Stewart and Ron Wood. The band continued as The Faces, their first outing retaining the "Small" adjective for the sake of continuity.

Live Recording

The Small Faces: Rod Stewart (vocals, banjo); Ron Wood (guitar, harmonica, bass); Ronnie Lane (guitar, bass); Ian McLagan (piano, organ); Kenney Jones (drums).

Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars "Wicked good, Ol' chap. Can I get 'nother?"
Great R&R with a "good time" attitude. Ronnie Wood's guitar is more than a mere sound permeating from the combo. It's a force that drives the band. This is a fantastic lp/cd that should've been presented as "The Faces". Log this cd in your player along with Pete Townsend/Ronnie Lane's "Rough Mix" & Rod Stewart's "Every Picture Tells a Story" and you'll find that "First Step" features a very similar R&R elements found in the other two.

Rod Stewart Album (1st LP) CD  (1969)

First Step album
CD $4.49  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
In between their departure from the Jeff Beck Group and their joining the Small Faces, Rod Stewart and buddy Ron Wood went into the studio to record THE ROD STEWART ALBUM (aka AN OLD RAINCOAT WON'T EVER LET YOU DOWN). Within the span of eight songs, Stewart used his soulful rasp to dismiss any ideas that he was merely Beck's singer. With Wood riding shotgun and playing potent bottleneck guitar, Stewart's ...

Faces Long Player CD  (1971)

First Step CD music
CD $6.25  4.7 stars Audio Samples
On their second album Long Player, the Faces truly gel -- which isn't quite the same thing as having the band straighten up and fly right because in many ways this is album is even more ragged than their debut, with tracks that sound like they were recorded through a shoebox thrown up against a couple of haphazardly placed live cuts. But if the album seems pieced together from a few different sources, the band itself all seems to be coming from the same place, turning into a ferocious rock & roll band who, on their best day, could wrestle the title of greatest rock & roll band away from the Stones. Certainly, the sheer force of the nine-minute jam on Big Bill Broonzy's "I Feel So Good" proves that, but what's more remarkable is how the band are dovetailing as songwriters, complementing and collaborating with very different styles, to the extent that it's hard to tell who wrote what; indeed, the ragged, heartbroken "Tell Everyone" sounds ...

Neil Young On The Beach CD  (1974) Remastered

First Step album
CD $8.99  4.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
After working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973, but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH. The album opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky about to Rain." The set also features a trio of scathing songs--"Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues"--that address issues important to Young, both ...
Garden
Ikue Mori Garden CD  (1996)

First Step CD music
CD $13.39  Audio Samples
Garden is electronic drum machine/sampler player Ikue Mori's first completely solo recording. Although the very existence of an entire album of solo drum machines and samplers is rather impressive, the result is, not surprisingly, somewhat challenging to listen to. The niche Mori has carved for herself playing three modified drum machines simultaneously always yields highly fascinating sounds, as are explored on this release. And her compositions are indeed accomplished, ...
Singles A's & B'S
Wizzard Singles A's & B'S CD  (2002) (Import) Germany

First Step music CDs
CD $15.75  4.5 stars
This is the German import edition of Wizzard's SINGLES A'S & B'S featuring 18 tracks. Although they recorded a couple of albums, Wizzard was at its best as a singles outfit, because Roy Wood's pop songwriting chops truly shined when confronting the challenges of the 45-rpm format. As the hits collected on Singles: A's & B's reveal, Wizzard was an excellent outlet for Wood's ability to combine retro-rock elements borrowed from a variety of pop sources with a driving glam rock edge: "Ball Park Incident" sounds like Jerry Lee Lewis jamming with the Spiders from Mars and "Angel Fingers" is a delightfully bombastic ballad that layers multiple tiers of vocals, brass, ...
