Description
Anymore for Anymore is a biography on cult British musician Ronnie Lane. During the 1960s Lane co-founded one of the quintessential British bands of the era: Small Faces. Hits including 'Itchycoo Park' followed, but before long, with frontman Steve Marriott leaving, the band gained Rod Stewart and then morphed into Faces, before continuing their success. Anymore... charts the fortunes of Lane throughout the period as well as his later work and life. His health struggles and early death are also sensitively recounted. The only full-length book regarding Lane, Anymore... was written by David and Caroline Stafford, UK-based authors whose previous work includes Fings Ain't Wot They Used T' Be - a full-length biography on Lionel Bart.
