Notes

Boasting "Stay With Me," the only hit the Faces ever had, A Nod is As Good As a Wink is their most consistent record, and arguably their best. "Stay With Me" and "Miss Judy's Farm" showcase the band at their best — they're all over the place, threatening to fall apart altogether before they snap it all back into place. Nobody rocked better than this, and the album is full of such terrific moments, including a rollicking cover of Chuck Berry's "Memphis." As with all of the Faces' albums, it's a little messy, but it is a classic rock & roll band at the top of their form.
