Ian Hunter & The Rant Band "fingers crossed"
Spotify listen:
yes it is that Ian Hunter....
loved Mott The Hoople but know virtually nothing
of his 40+ year solo career...
so, first album of his I have heard so I have nothing to
make comparisons/criticisms etc of...
some good genuine r+r on this one, a couple that would probably
fit on a Mott The Hoople album, some cool blues rock, and a couple of ballads also...
nothing on here I dislike and all the customer reviews on Amazon.com say it stacks up
to his back catalogue very well...
good vocals, the guy still has it IMO...
from the album:

"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.

nice track mate...BTW, he is still on my "to purchase" list, and when I find his self titled debut (as I think you recommended a while ago) or any other of his albums
I will buy it/them.
