Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.
BIO: When Kenney Jones was 16, he had his first hit record and shot to fame with The Small Faces, who were at the heart of the Mod revolution which swept Britain at the time and a band who have been cited as a major influence on musicians during the 50 years which have followed. When The Small Faces split Kenney was instrumental in forming The Faces and invited Rod Stewart to be featured as lead singer. The Faces took the rock world by storm in the early 1970’s on both sides of the Atlantic and became one of the most raucous, fun-loving bands of the time, with a fanatical following.
The Faces split in the mid-70’s and Kenney along with Steve Marriott, Ian McLagan and new man, Rick Wills, re-form The Small Faces, touring for a couple of years and making two albums before deciding to call it a day. By this time Kenney was recognized as one of the top drummers in the rock industry, and it was no surprise that he was The Who’s choice to replace Keith Moon after his tragic death in 1978.
After leaving The Who, Kenney hooked up with former Bad Company singer, Paul Rodgers to form The Law in the early 1990’s. Kenney’s most recent venture is forming a new band called The Jones Gang.
Please welcome legendary drummer & rock and roll hall of famer best known for being a member of The Small Faces/Faces and The Who…

My Life in Small Faces, Faces, and The Who

He was the beat behind three of the world's most enduring and significant bands.
