Anymore For Anymore
''Anymore for Anymore'' is the debut solo album by Ronnie Lane, one of the founding members of Small Faces and Faces. The recording sessions, using Ronnie Lane's Mobile Studio, started in 1973 at his farm in Wales with his new band Slim Chance. Lane had originally wanted to rechristen the Small Faces with the name Slim Chance in 1969 after Steve Marriott left the group, but when Ron Wood and then Rod Stewart joined them soon after, the other band members vetoed the idea and instead opted to slightly amend their existing name to Faces. The ''Anymore for Anymore'' album showcases a more rootsy, folk, and country music-influenced sound than any albums he recorded with Faces, although Lane had already experimented heavily with these musical styles on his own compositions for that group as early as 1970. The carefree nature of the album's recording is illustrated by the fact that the title track was spontaneously recorded on the hillside overlooking Lane's farm, where the sound of n ...

He took Donovan, who had been playing around the UK with Gypsy Dave, under his wing as a sort of protégé; as a result, the influence of American traditional music can be ...
