Ian McLagan (keys for The Faces) 5

Here's a little bit about Mac, the king of the Hammond B3 and piano man extraordinaire: A member of Small Faces, which became Faces when Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood joined the band, Ian 'Mac' McLagan is a rock'n'roll icon. Mac co-wrote many Faces hits, including Cindy Incidentally, You're So Rude and Three Button Hand Me Down. His distinctive Wurlitzer electric piano can be heard on the Faces Stay With Me and the Rolling Stones' smash Miss You. It was Mac's trademark B3 you heard on Small Faces' Itchycoo Park, Rod Stewart's Maggie May and You Wear It Well. Aside from his brilliant work touring and recording with the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Paul Westerberg, John Hiatt and Taj Mahal, Mac has released four critically acclaimed solo albums, highlighting his career as a singer-songwriter and an artist in his own right: Troublemaker, Bump In The Night, Last Chance To Dance and Best Of British. Mac just completed his fifth and finest solo CD, Rise & Shine! featuring his fabulous Bump Band - Gurf Morlix, 'Scrappy' Jud Newcomb, Don Harvey and George Reiff, with Patty Griffin on backing vocals. Rise & Shine! is filled with vibrant rock'n'roll - absolute classics, written by one of the best-loved rock'n'rollers of our time. Rise & Shine! is out now on Gaff Music in the US and Sanctuary Records in the UK/Europe. Mac was inducted into the Texas Hall of Fame in 2004 and presented with the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for his outstanding contribution to British music in 1996. His outrageous biography, All The Rage, is published by Pan/Macmillan.
