Music reviews of Mahoney's Last Stand: O.S.T.Music Review: The Rons Strum (and Sing)
Don't be deceived: this may be a soundtrack, but it is filled with the sort of country/blues/soul-influenced music that anyone who loves, say "Gasoline Alley," Faces' "Ooh La La," Ronnie Lane's solo material, or "Beggars Banquet" for that matter, will almost certainly enjoy. Yes, only 6 of the 13 songs feature vocals, and I won't pretend that this is as ambitious as the many classics Ron Wood and Ronnie Lane have made in their careers, but that is part of it's enormous charm, and when a song really jumps out at you - "Just For A Moment," heard in both instrumental and vocal versions - it packs such a wallop that one wonders how it could have missed being a highlight on any Faces album. Ron Wood provides the sort of distinctive and splendid slide one will recognize from Rod Stewart's Mercury classics, as well as his fat, rumbling bass and occasional lead vocals - the last, noteably, on the unassuming but blistering slow blues "'Mona' The Blues". Lane's vocals are as soulful as ever, and he too adds his melodic basslines, banjo, and acoustic guitars to the proceedings. "Rooster Funeral," is another strong vocal number, and one of a handful that features (ex-Blind Faith, Traffic, and Family member) Rick Grech on violin. "Hay Tumble," an instrumental again with Grech on violin and ex Jeff Beck Group/Rod Stewart drummer Mick Waller on drums, sounds like a high quality outtake from "Gasoline Alley," (think 'Jo's Lament,' or 'Only A Hobo'). And the countrified boogie-woogie of "Woody's Thing" is all Wood guitars plus the late sixth Rolling Stone Ian Stewart adding inimitable piano. All of the Faces - except Rod Stewart - appear on this set, and one track ("Tonight's Number", with a moody Jim Price trumpet solo) was included on the Faces' box set. The bonus tracks are mostly early sketches of "Ooh La La" tracks (except a brief "Anymore For Anymore," and "Insurance," the latter which appears in better sound quality on the Faces' box), and minor additions to that group's superb body of work, but for anyone reading this far, "Mahoney's Last Stand" (and why could they not have kept the original 1976 cover art?) is highly recommended.
