"Stay With Me" is the rowdiest moment on A Nod Is as Good as a Wink... to a Blind Horse, the third Faces album, which Warner Bros. put out in late 1971. Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood wrote it, and Glyn Johns produced it with the band, catching them at full barroom tilt: Wood's guitar slashing away, Ian McLagan hammering a Wurlitzer electric piano, Ronnie Lane and Kenney Jones rolling the rhythm along like a beer keg bouncing down the stairs.

Stewart plays the cad to the hilt, offering a woman named Rita a single night and asking only that she be gone before he wakes up. It turned out to be the Faces' only big hit in America, climbing to 17 on the Hot 100, and it went top 10 in Britain and Canada too.
