The Faces debuted their new lineup last night featuring former Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall on vocals.
The band, currently featuring original members Ronnie Wood, Kenney Jones and Ian McLagan as well as Mick Hucknall and ex Sex Pistol Glen Matlock, played a warm up show at the British Music Experience last night and Hucknall received rave reviews.Rick Pearson of the Evening Standard in London described Hucknall's vocals during show opener 'Miss Judy's Farm' as "a vocal with more gravel than a driveway, Hucknall's rock 'n' roll makeover was startling," going on to say that with enough imagination "it could have almost been Stewart circa 1975."
I wonder what is going through Rod's head right now?
The band play again tonight (Friday, August 13) at the Vintage at Goodwood Festival alongside Sandie Shaw, the Buzzcocks, Don Letts, The Bees, Aswad and Sean Rowley.
