In 1965, Small Faces came blasting out of England with style, wild abandon, and hits. But those hits were limited to the United Kingdom and Europe, failing to make inroads in the United States until the band’s restructuring as The Faces in 1970. Much like the early Who, Small Faces had an exuberance that threatened to detonate the band’s songs but instead kept the players rolling forward with unrelenting fervour.
Small Faces’ debut album shows a band able to both tackle tunes from the belly of American R&B and to offer up its own bracing originals. Check out “It’s Too Late”, impressive by any standards but all the more so when one considers that these guys were barely into their ’20s. Steve Marriott, a singer who could shout with the best of them, fronted Small Faces. His rasp is infectious, believable, and highly controlled,never sounding like the affectation of a young guy who wants to sound like an old bluesman. Those who are only familiar with Small Faces from the band’s later incarnation as the Rod Stewart-fronted Faces should look into SMALL FACES for an earful of how it all began.
