The Faces News

Keyboardist Ian McLagan of the British band the Small Faces, which evolved into Faces with Rod Stewart and Ron Wood, performs tomorrow night at the Bordentown Record Collector.

"I know what it's like to play in shows that are just terribly run," Blacker said.

Rod Stewart's hope to reunite with the Faces was thwarted by illness just before their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, and then by Ron Wood joining the on-going Rolling Stones reunion concert series.

We begin our discussion of the Faces, as we must, with "The Rod Conundrum" - one of the thorniest in all of rock and roll lore.

Over the course of his career, Rod Stewart has had it all. He's been lauded as the finest singer of his generation, he's written several songs that turned into modern standards, he sang with the Faces, who rivaled the Rolling Stones in their prime, he had massive commercial success.
