REUNITED with old school producer Glyn Johns, former Small Faces/Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan has made the most emotionally powerful record of his 45 years in the game. That it's the first since the death of his wife Kim two years ago is not entirely unrelated.
The title track drips with the pain of loss but refuses to wallow in the grief that clearly underpins it - like much of the album there's an uplifting feel to Mac's singing and playing. On the rolling Killing Me With Love he invokes the gypsy soul of his former bandmate Ronnie Lane's solo years and rockers like I'm Hot You're Cool and A Little Black Number finds his classy band of Texan sideman making space for their own sound where lesser talents would have merely aped The Faces.
