Ian Hunter

Famous friends help out former Mott the Hoople frontman on first record in seven years.

Mott the Hoople leader says he was far less ambitious than "All the Young Dudes" writer.

LP features guest appearances by Ringo Starr, Billy Gibbons, Slash, Todd Rundgren, Jeff Tweedy, Taylor Hawkins and Jeff Beck.

"Hypnotized (A Work in Progress)" is part of an upcoming expanded reissue of the Iron City Houserockers' 'Have a Good Time (But Get Out Alive).'

The reunited band was scheduled to play two weeks of shows in October and November.

Frontman talks about reviving his old band for a new tour.

By the time Ian Hunter left Mott the Hoople, the musical landscape was in a state of flux.

Ian Hunter is certainly a legend when it comes to all things rock 'n' roll, but just in case there was any doubt, he proved it once again on Nov. 15, when he played the Beachland Ballroom in his honorary home of Cleveland.

It's tough out there for a fading teen idol.

We're pretty sure that being born in England makes him ineligible, but former Mott the Hoople frontman Ian Hunter throws his hat into our election ring anyway with the Sept. 4 release of 'When I'm President.'
