Happy Easter long weekend everyone! I should be at work right now but I decided to take the night off to drink strongbow and rip a few records instead.
At the request of follower Lil Mike, here's the first Small Faces 1970's reunion album. I'm listening to this album for the first time as I'm ripping it because it was sealed until about 10 minutes ago. I'm only on the second track so far, and so far it's a fairly enjoyable listen, though definitely quite the departure from the psychedelic mod rock these guys were famous for in the 1960's, instead they've headed in more of a soul/r&b and at times country direction. Steve Marriott's voice has changed a lot in the 9 years since their previous album, often cracking and sounding much weaker than before, and there's quite a few references to cocaine (especially in the opening track "High and Happy") that show case the wreck that Steve Marriott's life had become.
Overall not a terrible listen, but don't expect anything as quality as Itchycoo Park (though there is a reference to it!), or Ogden's Nutgone Flake.
