OT - New Ian Hunter album! and Mott reunion!

[youkeepmewaiting]

Who is excited?!

I cant wait for Ian new album (out 21st July I think). Shrunken Heads was, in my opinion, his best ever album. Considering he was 68 at the time, that quite something. He is using the same band this album so hopefully this will be Shrunken Heads Part Two. Fantastic man, fantastic poet, fantastic artist.

[X factor]

LOVE Ian Hunter. A true unsung rock and roll hero. Saw him in a club in the late 80's when Ronson was still alive. It was great to see them perform together. I still think WELCOME TO THE CLUB is one of the 5 greatest live albums ever made.

Still have this album kickin' around. Haven't checked out any current work of his though. And I can't help but have a chuckle when I hear one of his songs. When my exhubby and I first started going out, he tried to tell me Ian Hunter was his Uncle, even had his brother in on it. I believed it for a bit, what did I know, yep they got me good.
