The Faces re-unite...for one night only...Ooh La La!!!

I woke up this morning and on the news there was a short story about 70's rock band The Faces getting back together for a one-off gig later next month in London.

For those of you who don't know the band. it featured the following (and these names you'll recognise)...

Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones and Ian McLagan.

Next month the band will be without Ronnie Lane who died some time ago and Rod Stewart...although there's no reason who he won't be playing.

Now I'll confess, I can't comment on much of their music as I've never had the chance to really sit down and listen to it, and one day I will, but to mark the occasion of their reformation...if for only one night, I wanted to share with you a cover of one of their songs, in fact their last ever studio track, a song called Ooh La La.

The song was written by Ronnie Lane and Ronnie Wood on the same titled album and lead vocals were sung by Ronnie Wood as story has it that Rod Stewart didn't think the song was up to much...despite then re-recording it years later on one of his solo albums. Now I really like the song, I've heard quite a few people cover it, it's appeared in movies, TV ads, but this version of it is my favourite...not just because it's by Counting Crows but because it's mindblowingly good and you can tell that much fun was had recording it.

So it's there in the sidebar for you to listen to and enjoy...I'll leave it up there for a while and you know, I've even been good enough to upload it so you can download it because i just know when you hear it if you haven't before, you'll absolutely love it.

Counting Crows - Ooh La La

Now I promise you it's a legitimate link and if you hit the download link underneath the music player on the page, it'll let you download the track for you to keep. Is it copyright infringement...truth is, I don't know...I think not as it's never been released on an album and it's readily available for free on many bootleg discs...so I guess not. Anyway, if someone objects or I'm asked to take it down then I will, but I don't think there's any issue to worry about.

Enjoy it!
