Good Boys... When They're Asleep
Good Boys... When They're Asleep... was a 1999 compilation of British rock group Faces. Compiled primarily by keyboardist Ian McLagan, it served to supersede the 1976 effort Snakes And Ladders / The Best of Faces, and to present a CD-length retrospective of the group, lasting nearly eighty minutes.
Again dominated by Rod Stewart, who sings fifteen of nineteen lead vocals, the set presents three tracks sung by Ronnie Lane, and the singing debut of Ronnie Wood, "Ooh La La". Included for the first time is one track from the Faces' final session, "Open to Ideas".
With the exception of a cover of Bob Dylan's "The Wicked Messenger", all of these tracks appear on the 2004 box set by the group, Five Guys Walk into a Bar....

Famous quotes containing the words boys and/or asleep:
“Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“Here a pretty Baby lies
Sung asleep with Lullabies:
Pray be silent, and not stirre
Th’ easie earth that covers her.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
