Ex-Mott the Hoople singer Ian Hunter's first self titled debut release in 1974 is 9 tracks of pure enjoyment. Hunter was pretty much a bit ahead of his time, and while listening to this I instantly drew comparisons to David Bowie who wrote the famous song "All the young Dudes" that was made popular by Ian and the band Mott. The lead guitar and mellotron work done by Mick Ronson is simply great! This is one of the best releases of the mid-1970's from a British rocker who worried less about popularity and hits and more about playing and performing really stout rock n roll music.
Since I missed this one first time around, I finally hear what I missed. There are no weak songs on here.There are two pretty ballads here (like Kid).The rest just "rocks yer boots off". Once Bitten Twice Shy was later made a big hit by Great White here in America, but there is nothing like the original. Sounds like Mott on steroids, thanks to the late Mick Ronson's guitar style. All the musicians on here are A-1 Considering "All the Young Dude's," " Mott," The Hoople," and "Live" being so cool, Ian Hunter does it again via old school rock and roll.This could have been the Hoople's next album, it's that good.There is nothing not to like, except being too short. Too bad rock music does not sound like this anymore.Read full review
Early Ian Hunter...awesome vocals by Ian, incredible early songs, best appreciated by lovers of glam-rock, circa 1978 or 1979. Ian's voice is prevelant throughout this CD, and I really appreciate it, as my brother turned me on to this sound during the late 70's. Listening to this takes me back to a happier time, when I thought I would be young and invincible...forever.! Thank you for taking me back ...to a younger age where life was simpler! Bec
