Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, former members of the Faces, teamed up to record the track "You Strum and I'll Sing," according to British tabloid the Sun. Stewart also told the paper that the song was "like the really early old Faces stuff."

Although Stewart has not hinted at a release date for the song, he also said, "We have a lot of unreleased Faces tracks which we've made into a sort of Moby thing."
