Faces' "Love In Vain"
Date: February 27, 2006 16:44
Everytime I play a disc from the box I discover some new favorite, and most recently it's the 8:21 minute Love In Vain on disc 4, a marvelous contrast to the Stones various verions...Rod's vocal is nicely understated, and Wood's slide is crazily brilliant, haunting, a tour de force. Plus no small thanks to Lane's deep (yet melodic) bass, - they'd obviously played it many times before, but as w/ most of their covers (from McCartney to Brian Wilson) they make it their own...Nice take on Free's "Stealer" on the same disc.
