After completing the last night of his most recent US tour, Ian Hunter
hung out in the green room at The Kent Stage with Cool Cleveland's
Thomas Mulready and some of his Cleveland area friends, including Weird
& Gilly.
Ian talks frankly about life on the road, the
upcoming Mott The Hoople British gigs (including the massive O2 Arena on
11/18), his old friend Buffin, and whether he's writing new material
for an up-and-coming Mott The Hoople record, or if it would be more
appropriate to record with The Rant Band, his touring outfit featuring
bandleaders James Mastro on guitar and Steve Holly on drums, with Andy
Burton on keys, Paul Page on bass and Mark Bosch on lead guitar.
The song referred to in the interview is by Nicol Williamson, 'Season Song', and the album wasn't actually released until 1971.
