Ian Hunter – Ian Hunter LP Coloured Vinyl

Ian Hunter – Ian Hunter

Ian Hunter is the first solo album by Ian Hunter of Mott The Hoople, released in 1975. It is also the first of many solo albums in which he collaborates with guitarist Mick Ronson. After leaving Mott The Hoople in early 1975, Ian Hunter quickly threw himself into recording his eponymous solo debut.

Unsurprisingly, it contains much of the glam rock charm of Hunter's old group. "The Truth, The Whole Truth, Nothing But The Truth" and "I Get So Excited" are fist-pumping tunes that combine punchy hard rock riffs with intelligent lyrics in a manner reminiscent of Mott The Hoople's finest moments. Ian Hunter's lyrics shine through in every song, showcasing his own personal blend of attitude and intelligence. The single "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" was to become his first and last top 20 single in the UK. Another highlight is "It Ain't Easy When You Fall", a moving tribute to a fallen friend. Anyone interested in the finest moments of 1970s glam rock should give this classic a listen.

Ian Hunter is available as a 50th anniversary edition of 750 numbered copies on red colored vinyl and includes an insert.
