Richmond sounds like an Americana standard but is another Lane original, the kind of song Keith Richards wishes he wrote, filled with more great guitar work and an appealing, unhurried optimism to the music despite the ambiguity of the lyrics. A studio recording of " Maybe I'm Amazed" also appeared as the A-side of a standalone single release in the USA just ahead of the album itself.

Although Stewart's vocals were arguably the most immediately identifiable aspect of the Faces' sound, the band didn't really have a leader, per se — their distinct chemistry was wholly dependent on each member's equal contributions, and they functioned, more or less, as a creative democracy.Sanne Graulund’s rendition of “Dancing On My Own,” featuring Jan Harbeck, serves as the first single from her upcoming album, “Context.
