About this product

Product Information

Ian Hunter's fifty-year-long career and extensive repertoire of percipient, creative songs have earned him a reputation as a true rock phenomenon. This second part of a two-volume authorised biography offers inside stories from Ian's solo career following his departure from Mott the Hoople, including his collaborations with Mick Ronson, Queen and Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, and reflects on resonant recordings such as 'You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic', 'Shrunken Heads', 'Fingers Crossed', 'Once Bitten Twice Shy', 'Ships' and 'Dandy' - his homage to David Bowie. Based on interviews with Ian Hunter and an impressive cast of supporting characters, 'Rock 'n' Roll Sweepstakes: Hunter by Proxy' is a fascinating and frank exploration of Ian's honest and distinctive style, his articulate better than Dylan writing and the absurdity of music-related fame.

  • Ian Hunter - Official biographies x 2

    Both the recent books on Ian Hunter by Campbell Devine are well worth the read if you are a Hunter / Mott fan. Obviously the first book covers Ian’s early career and Mott features heavily with stories and details of songs, records, tracks etc. Some overlap but book 2 takes you into the Ian Hunter solo years including his work with Mick Ronson. Well researched, a conversational style, a huge amount of detail about the songs. Very enjoyable.

  • Excellent history of a rock enigma

    Ian Hunter is an enigma. Every bit as remarkable a songwriter and singer as Dylan, with albums shared with Bowie’s foil Mick Ronson and Joni Mitchell’s foil, jazz legend Jaco Pastorius, he has blazed a trail of for artists who play by their own rules and make juke-box art for the cognoscenti. This book traces the roots of his solo songwriting style back to his escape from Mott, which resulted in a bout of nervous exhaustion and a 1st solo album that bent the rules of rock, reminding us that great songwriters are poets, minstrels and balladeers, as well as icons. Though this time traverses the fascinating route Hunter took through the burnt out studio where Overnight Angels was conceived, the Scandinavian adventures of The Artful Dodger and the fury & weariness enshrined in the Rant album, ...
