Ian Hunter

Ian Hunter, the legendary Mott The Hoople front man and renowned solo artist, has signed to New West Records. Man Overboard, released on July 21st 2009, is Mr. Hunter's anticipated follow up to his critically acclaimed 2007 solo album Shrunken Heads (his first release after a six-year gap).

With Mott The Hoople, Ian Hunter quickly established himself as an incredibly inventive songwriter with his gritty and thought provoking songs which paved the way for the original wave of punk rock. The 1972 David Bowie-produced breakthrough album All The Young Dudes catapulted the band into the British Top 10 and the American Top 40. Additionally, the band was the first act to ever sell out a week of Broadway concerts in New York City. Ian Hunter's autobiography, Diary Of A Rock and Roll Star, written during the band's 1972 US Tour and published in 1974, was also acclaimed by Q Magazine as "the greatest music book ever written".
