I will describe Ian Hunter's solo career in context and provide a brief history. Along the way I will note any changes in musical style. My goal is achieving this fan's subjective opinion as a life-long follower of Mott The Hoople but particularly the songwriting of Hunter. I will review the musical direction of album releases, line up changes, and were relevant critical reception. I hope to arrive at a balance between discussion of the music and lyrics elaborating when necessary on the content since Ian is primarily known for the strength of his lyrics.
Blog Smith is inspired by the myth of Hephaestus in the creation of blacksmith-like, forged materials: ideas. This blog analyzes topics that interest me: IT, politics, technology, history, education, music, and the history of religions.
