Review
'Ooh La La' kicked the doors open with a bang in March '73, serving as the Faces' swan song and a wild ride through rock and roll heaven. This beast, cooked up at London's Olympic Studios, showcased the band's raw power and knack for crafting tunes that stick to your bones. The album's a mix of gritty rockers and soulful folk-rock jams, with tracks like 'Cindy Incidentally' burning up the UK charts and 'Silicone Grown' delivering a knockout punch of pure, unadulterated rock.
Despite the storm brewing within the band, 'Ooh La La' climbed to the top of the UK Albums Chart, knocking Led Zeppelin off their perch. Ronnie Lane stepped up to the plate, leaving his mark all over this record while Rod Stewart was off chasing his solo dreams. The title track, with Ronnie Wood taking the mic, became a fan favorite and a testament to the band's versatility. It's a bittersweet testament to the Faces' ability to crank out killer tunes even when the ship was taking on water. This album's a time capsule of a band at their creative peak, fighting against the current and leaving us with one hell of a parting shot. - Logan
