I'm sitting here - in boring-land - listening a bit to Ian Hunter's late 70's stuff, and damned if he wasn't one of the best literate rockers ever. It helped to have Mick Ronson as your guitar player -that Mick Ronson that used to be in David Bowie's Spiders From Mars. I think 'the times' passed him by since he was doing a kind of Glam Rock / Dylan thing and by the late 70's - well we were on our way to New Wave and the Big 80's electronic overproduced stuff. Too bad, since most of what Hunter was doing was top notch. Recommended: Ian Hunter - You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic (1979).
