The Faces: Ooh La La (Warner Bros.)
Charles Shaar Murray, NME, 7 April 1973
FIRST THERE'S this rolling piano lick, then in comes Ronnie Wood's guitar. Nice tough chording, anchored down with a bent note descending to the root of the chord, before Rod Stewart rushes breathlessly to the mike to do a few lines and Kenny Jones drops in the drums.
Total word count of piece: 687
