Rod Stewart and The Faces shake up music with brand new album
- Replies 10
For those who love timeless music, something special is on the horizon.
A legendary group that helped shape an unforgettable era is stepping back into the spotlight.
Key members, whose names have long been etched into music history, are reuniting and creating new sounds for the first time in decades.
The Faces have always been more than just a band; they've been a symbol of a bygone era of rock 'n' roll that many of our readers at the Seniors Discount Club remember fondly.
Their music was the soundtrack to many of our lives, and the prospect of new tunes from these legends is nothing short of thrilling.
The trio, whose chemistry and charisma have remained undiminished by time, has been recording tracks at RAK Studios in North London.
In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Drummer Kenney Jones revealed that they've recorded 11 tracks.
While he played it coy about a release date, suggesting it's more likely to be next year than this, the anticipation is palpable.
The band's charismatic frontman Rod Stewart has been busy with his 'One Last Time' North American tour and is preparing for a headline slot at Glastonbury 2025's Legends stage this June.
Ronnie Wood, the group's guitarist, is also preoccupied with a major European tour with The Rolling Stones, who continue to be a powerhouse in live music, having been the top-grossing US touring act of 2024.
Kenney Jones, meanwhile, is not just sitting back and enjoying the ride. He's actively involved in celebrating the 60th anniversary of Immediate Records, the label associated with his earlier band, Small Faces.
Through his imprint, Nice Records, he's releasing expanded editions of classic albums, ensuring that the legacy of his musical journey continues to be appreciated by new generations.
The Faces' return to the studio is not just about nostalgia; it's about bringing their unique sound into the modern era.
They've been teasing this new project since 2021, and according to Ronnie Wood, they've been recording 'some new Faces music.'
Rod Stewart, in an interview with music writer Craig McLean, promised that the album, featuring '15 tracks that are extremely worthy, some old, some new,' will be finished.
Adding to the excitement, Kenney Jones has confirmed that UK musician and TV personality Jools Holland will guest on one of the songs.
There's also a documentary in the works. This documentary promises to give fans an intimate look at the band's history, complete with 'rude bits,' as Jones cheekily put it.
The Faces' story began in 1969 after Steve Marriott left Small Faces to form Humble Pie.
The remaining members regrouped, bringing in Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood from the Jeff Beck Group, and released four influential albums.
Their blues-infused rock sound left a lasting legacy, even as Stewart's solo career took off and Wood joined The Rolling Stones.
Now, as they unite again, The Faces are set to remind the world of their unique place in rock history.
Their upcoming album is not just a collection of songs; it's a testament to the enduring spirit of rock 'n' roll and the timeless appeal of its pioneers.
So, to our dear readers, let's dust off those vinyl records, reminisce about the good old days, and prepare to welcome new music from a band that has truly stood the test of time.
The Faces are back; we can't wait to hear what they've been working on.
