Lest we Forget: Ronnie Lane's Anymore for Anymore

Ronnie Lane was a member of one of the great English bands of the 'sixties, The Small Faces, and then in the 1970s The Faces, paying bass and co-writing some great songs. He quit The Faces & formed a band, Slim Chance, getting a top 20 single How Come and releasing a solo album Anymore for Anymore and continuing a low key solo career thereafter.  For me, Anymore for Anymore is a forgotten nugget (and one that seems to be out of print: DEAL WITH IT SOMEONE!). It has a folky. rootsy, laid-back feel (must have been fun to make; it was recorded in his barn in Fishpool of all places), and some great songs; Lane was a real tunesmith.  Try these:

mp3 Ronnie Lane & the Band Slim Chance: Don't You Cry for Me

mp3 Ronnie Lane & the Band Slim Chance: Anymore for Anymore/Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage

And the hit single:

mp3 Ronnie Lane & the Band Slim Chance: How Come

And here's Ronnie & the band from 1974 performing the song he wrote for The Faces Debris.

Sadly, Lane died in 1997; his music should not be forgotten.
