If you love the influential Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group Faces, its surviving members — Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, and Kenney Jones — are working on a new album.
Jones shared in a new interview with The Telegraph that he, Stewart, and Wood have recorded “about 11 tracks” for this album. He noted that “most of them are good,” but each song might not “be right” for this new album.
As for when fans can expect this album, Jones said he doesn’t see it coming out in 2025, but he “can see it coming out next year.”
He added about the recording process, “Everyone’s doing different things. We do little snippets [of recording] here and there. Then all of a sudden, The Stones are out [on tour] again, Rod’s out again…”
The last album Faces released was 1973’s Ooh La La, but the last new piece of music the band released is the lengthily titled “You Can Make Me Dance, Sing or Anything (Even Take the Dog for a Walk, Mend a Fuse, Fold Away the Ironing Board, or Any Other Domestic Shortcomings).”
Back in July 2021, Ronnie Wood shared that he was working on new music with his Faces bandmates. Coincidentally, he was also working on some material for the 40th anniversary reissue of the Rolling Stones’ Tattoo You.
At that time, he told U.K.’s The Times, “I saw Mick [Jagger] here [at my new home in London] last week, and Rod [Stewart] and Kenney [Jones] were here yesterday. Me and Mick have done nine new tracks for the [40th anniversary] re-release of ‘Tattoo You.’ And me, Rod and Kenney have been recording some new Faces music.”
Wood would accurately conclude, “I’ve had a front-row seat on some amazing rock ‘n’ roll projects these past couple of weeks. I’m making every day count. Not wasting a moment.”
