A Nod Is as Good as a Wink... to a Blind Horse

A Nod Is As Good As a Wink... to a Blind Horse, also released as A Nod's As Good As a Wink... to a Blind Horse, is the third album by British rock group Faces, and their second album of 1971. Bolstered by lead singer Rod Stewart's recent solo success with "Maggie May", it was their most successful album worldwide, peaking at No. 6 in the US, and reaching No. 2 in the UK. It also contains their biggest US hit, the swaggering "Stay with Me", and the album itself would be certified gold by the RIAA in 1972. Thanks in no small part to the decision to share production duties with Glyn Johns, this album is generally regarded by critics and fans alike as the Faces' definitive statement; the most consistent, balanced album of the group's career in terms of songwriting, pacing and overall mood. As a result of Johns' involvement, this album is a more focused and concise offering than the two previous Faces LPs, clocking in at just over 35 minutes where both of its predecessors exceeded the 45 minute mark. The album features two original ballads and a cover of Chuck Berry's "Memphis Tennessee".
