First Step is the debut studio album by the British rock band Small Faces, released in 1966. Small Faces were known for their dynamic and influential sound during the 1960s and are often associated with the Mod subculture.
The album First Step marked the band’s transition from their earlier R&B and mod-influenced sound to a more psychedelic and experimental style. While the album didn’t include some of their most well-known hits, it features tracks that showcase their evolving musical direction.
Some of the notable songs on the album include ‘Wicked Messenger,’ ‘Devotion,’ and ‘Shake, Shudder, Shiver.’ These tracks reflect the band’s exploration of new musical territories, incorporating elements of psychedelia and folk rock into their sound.
Small Faces went on to release more critically acclaimed albums, including ‘Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake,’ which is often considered one of their seminal works. Nevertheless, First Step is an important album in their discography as it captures a pivotal moment in their musical evolution.
The band’s lineup at the time of First Step included Rod Stewart (vocals and guitar), Ronnie Lane (bass guitar and vocals), Ronnie Wood (drums), and Ian McLagan (keyboards). Small Faces left an enduring legacy in British rock music and are remembered for their energetic live performances and contributions to the 1960s music scene.
