Anymore for Anymore

Originally released in July 1974, 'Anymore for Anymore' is Ronnie Lane's debut solo album following his departure from The Faces, for whom he wrote and co-wrote a number of their best loved songs, including 'Debris', 'Flags and Banners' and the title track for their chart topping 1973 album, 'Ooh La La'. Rod Stewart subsequently said the soul of the band went when Ronnie left. Prior to that Ronnie and songwriting partner Steve Marriott had been the driving force behind seminal '60s Mod outfit The Small Faces, in which they co-wrote hits including 'All Or Nothing', 'Itchycoo Park', 'Lazy Sunday' and 'Tin Soldier'. Recorded at his farm in Wales, 'Anymore for Anymore' saw Ronnie's music adopt a more pastoral tone, incorporating elements of folk and country music. The album features contributions from Scottish duo Benny Gallagher and Graham Lyle, bass player Steve Bingham (The Foundations, Colin Blunstone) and drummer Bruce Rowland (Joe Cocker, Fairport Convention).
