Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Little Piece Of Nothing
Gear costume: Stone
Active compensatory factors: Slightly disheveled and ramshackle are a couple of adjectives you could throw Ronnie's way after he left The Faces.

The cover image tells a story - sepia toned and the fag in the corner of the mouth give a good idea of the kind of music inside.
Ronnie is as honest as the day is long and his lack of guile is a huge plus throughout this album. I'll even forgive him a rough version of I'm Gonna Sit Right Down (And Write Myself A Letter). It must have been a labour of love surely to goodness!
There is a lot to enjoy here - Ronnie's worn vocal, simple instrumentation and even the choice of instruments (I love that mandolin sound!). It all adds up to the loveable street urchin image he lived in.
Where do they all belong? Live Ronnie material still to come.
