Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ian Hunter first gained attention as the frontman for Mott the Hoople, a band that formed in England in 1969. Their 1972 album 'All the Young Dudes,' featuring the David Bowie-penned title track, became a commercial breakthrough. Hunter left the group in 1974 and launched a solo career the following year.
His 1975 self-titled solo album included 'Good Man In a Bad Time,' a song that became one of his most recognizable tracks. Other songs from his catalog like 'Resurrection Mary' and 'Just Another Night' show his range as a songwriter, moving between character sketches and more direct rock statements.
Hunter worked with various collaborators over time, including guitarist Mick Ronson and his former Mott the Hoople bandmate Mick Ralphs. His discography includes albums like 'All American Alien Boy' from 1976 and 'You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic' from 1979.
