faces (band)
in 1969, after steve marriott left the small faces, wood began working with the remaining members of that group, returning to his instrument of choice, the guitar. this line-up, plus rod stewart and former bird kim gardner, teamed up with wood's brother art wood in a formation called quiet melon, making a handful of recordings in may 1969. after the jeff beck group's fifth us tour in july, wood and stewart joined the former small faces full-time, and the band's name was changed to faces. during the summer of 1969, stewart and wood also set the template for what would become the faces on "an old raincoat won't ever let you down," stewart's first solo album (known as "the rod stewart album" in the us). the backing band on the album also included ian mclagan, keith emerson, micky waller and guitarists martin pugh (of steamhammer and later armageddon and 7th order), and martin quittenton (also from steamhammer).
