Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance is the second solo album recorded by Ronnie Lane, one of the founders of Small Faces and Faces, after he left Faces to live on a farm in Wales. In homage to his perceived chances of commercial success, he named his band Slim Chance. Six of the thirteen songs on this album were originals written by Lane, the rest of Slim Chance, and Lane's wife, Kate Lambert; the remainder were covers, including a new version of the Faces track "Stone".
