Ian Hunter is the first solo album by Mott The Hoople’s Ian Hunter, released in 1975. It is also the first of many solo albums on which he collaborates with guitarist Mick Ronson. After leaving Mott The Hoople in early 1975, Ian Hunter quickly threw himself into recording this eponymous solo debut. The single “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” would be his first and last top 20 single in the UK. Another highlight is “It Ain’t Easy When You Fall”, a moving tribute to a fallen friend. Anyone interested in the finest moments of 1970s Glam Rock should give this classic a spin.
