Ian Hunter Sampler


Song Title Time
1. A Little Rock 'n' Roll (Pre-Rant outtake). OK rocker but could be a grower.
2. Your Eyes Already got this on the Shrunken Heads EP
3. Waterlow (Trio Studio Version) 
4. Sons 'n' Lovers (Live Acoustic 2008) 
5. When I'm President (Live Acoustic 2013) 

6. American Music (Early Version) Not radically different but I like this. Nice feel to it.
7. Sweet Jane Ian Hunter and Tribes. Less Mott more Velvets.

Tribes

They're a band from Camden, London. Released two albums, Baby and Wish to Scream, both on Island. I think they got together with Ian because their manager at the time is the son of Ian's manager in the 80's. This was recorded in April of 2013 in London. Lead singer Johnny Lloyd has just released a solo ep Dreamland - again well worth a listen. Couple of links that gives a flavour of the band - the live one is Camden:
