On the golden anniversary of what turned out to be The Faces finale “Ooh La La”, Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, drummer Kenney Jones with a cameo, and the late Ian McLagan face the music here In the Studio.
On the golden anniversary of what turned out to be The Faces finale, “Ooh La La”, Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, and the late Ian McLagan share some of the best of this highly-regarded and influential British band (just ask the Georgia Satellites and the Black Crowes) including “Cindy Incidentally”,”Silicone Grown”,”Stay with Me”,”Miss Judy’s Farm”, “Too Bad”, “That’s All You Need”, and “Ooh La La” the week of March 20.
Those first two Faces albums were critical faves but received scant U.S. airplay, but that all changed in a hurry in November 1971 with “A Nod is As Good As a Wink” containing the international hit “Stay With Me”. Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, & archival comments from the late Ian McLagan ( Ronnie Lane passed as well ) face the music In the Studio for their most popular album, “A Nod is as Good as a Wink” .
When the Jeff Beck Group made their American debut at New York City’s Fillmore East, no one in the audience watching the young lead singer Rod Stewart hide behind the backline amps due to major stage fright could have imagined that the raspy-throated rooster-haired Englishman would become an international star just three years later with his third solo album, 1971’s “Every Picture Tells a Story”.
Fathers Day is a big one for Rod Stewart.
“They didn’t like me nose, me clothes, or me hair!” says Rod Stewart of his first record company audition in London, which makes a charming basis for the song “Can’t Stop Me Now” on our encore presentation of the 2013 album Time .

Here’s a simply charming […]
In his very entertaining best-selling memoir Rod, confessions are commonplace, including Rod Stewart‘s admission that he nicked the title and certainly the spirit of his 1988 international hit “Forever Young” off of the Bob Dylan song of the same name. But the song and this performance of it April 25, 2013 in the famous West […]
Al Stewart joins me In the Studio in a rare interview on the 45th anniversary of his breakout 1976 album “Year of the Cat”. Stewart might seem to be name-dropping big time, except it’s all true: sneaking backstage during a 1963 Beatles concert and talking with John Lennon; rooming in London next to Paul Simon; befriended by an unknown Cat Stevens; mc’ing at a London nightclub when another unknown, an American named Jimi Hendrix, decided to play his guitar with his teeth. But being witness repeatedly to rock history apparently accounted for nothing when Al Stewart’s seventh album, “Year of the Cat”, was unceremoniously turned down by every major UK record label.
“Outlandos d’Amour has a certain grotesque, naïve charm about it,” Sting offers in this interview about the second album by The Police, “but Regatta de Blanc is infinitely a better record.” Both the critics and the rock audience agreed, garnering two #1 hits in the UK with “Walking on the Moon” and “Message in a Bottle”, plus topping the album sales chart there with Regatta de Blanc.
