Red lips, hair and fingernails?

We’ve had a request for some Faces, and there really isn’t much out there on them, comparatively, but we do have the bootleg known as “Killer Highlights,” recorded mostly for a BBC-aired show. Some of this appears on the completist’s wet dream, “Five Guys Walk Into a Bar” box set. The batch includes Faces faves like “Had Me a Real Good Time,” “Borstal Boys” and for the first time live, “Bad n Ruin.” But more interesting are the covers — McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed” balanced by Lennon’s “Jealous Guy,” The Stones’ “Love in Vain,” The Temptations’ “I’m Losing You,” and Free’s “The Stealer.”

Wilson and Alroy have a great Faces refresher, which outlines their short-lived, six-year catalogue.

RECORDING DETAILS: BBC Paris 1,2,3,5,6,7+14 1972, rest 1973

Rod Stewart, in more talented times.

The Mac just made a lot of kids in rock land very happy: The long-rumored Faces reunion is in the works! Rod Stewart will actually sing good songs again!

“I’ve wanted to for years and so has Woody and Kenny. Rod is now interested it seems and I’m real pleased about that, and he’s serious about it. I mean we’re trying to get it together, it’s just a question of schedules,” McLagan told 6 Music: “We’re hoping to get together later this year, just to get together, to play and then we may have some news - but I want it to happen, badly. It’s gonna be great if it does happen.”

Indeed.

We recommend the nerds-only doc, The Passing Show: The Life and Music of Ronnie Lane.

.

And if you can track it down, get Ronnie Wood’s appearance on the talk show (60 Minutes-style) “The South Bank Show,” a must for any fan and covers Wood in all his worlds — rock, painting, farm life, family and (semi) sobriety.
