However by 1973 tensions were running high, mostly due to the fact that singer Rod Stewart's solo career was proving much more successful than the band (he had scored two #1 hits with "Maggie Mae" and "You Wear It Well"). He was becoming increasingly distanced from his band-mates, and in concert they were presented as little more than his backing group. It was bassist Ronnie Lane who was irritated the most, and shortly after the album's release he left the band. He was replaced by former Free bassist Tetsu Yamauchi, and the band stayed together for a while longer, but Ooh La La turned out to be their last studio album.

Devotion probably one of Ronnie Lane's best song writing efforts. And the title track w Woody singing was a great track, but still not as strong an album as Long Player or Nod is Good as a Wink.
Thanx for sharing!
