Strong Voice

"Faces play loud," and with
loud rock, a good loud voice is
essential. Rod Stewart more
than adequately fulfills this
requirements He is not merely
another lyric screaming
performer; he has developed
his voice into a strong and
effectively moving instrument
of the band. His wild, often
chaotic movements (like
swinging the microphone stand
over his head) seem more
significant of his enjoyment
than anything else.

The Faces do, unlike many
other groups today, enjoy
performing their music. This
enjoyment with what they are
doing enhances their talent and
the audiences response, and
succeeds in bringing off a good
dynamic rocking concert.
