Hit: 5 Stars
If you don't know who Ian Hunter is, you really owe it to yourself to find out now! Man Overboard, and its predecessor, Shrunken Heads, have to be two of the sharpest and infectious rock n' roll albums in years. After you've listened once, you'll be compelled to go back again and again to the musical skill and verbal fluency that is Hunter. The title song of his latest is really beyond moving; particularly for anyone who feels awash in the skillfully manipulated lock-step that is the new millennium. Hunter presents an uncompromising assault on the indifference of our "flat world." But, if his full-frontal assaults are unequaled (listen to "Babylon Blues" right now!), so too is the simplicity and sweetness of songs like "Arms and Legs." When Hunter sings:
"I'm the one who walked away from love.
Couldn't take that chance.
I don't know what I was thinkin' of...
But if you wanna know what love is...
Oh, if you wanna know what love is...Oh!
These are my arms, these are my legs
These are the thoughts running 'round in my head.
I wanna be where you are
I wanna do what you do, cause
Nothin' really matters but you."
It's a beautiful love song that has the same effect as his most acerbic attacks - making us stop and think about where we are and how we got here after such a long time.
The instrumentation - the music and arrangement - on both albums is creative and, in a word, perfect.
Whether you were a Mott fan (I was, and still have my LP of, "All the Yuung Dudes," purchased the day it was released in the US) or not, you NEED to hear some of the best Rock n' Roll of the last decade. And probably one of the top 10 albums of the year! Now after you've listened to both of these albums several times; I couldn't stop and had to play them over and over, realize that this guy is 70 years old. I'm sure Hunter hates to have this mentioned in reviews, but I find it encouraging and breathtaking that his music has not a hint of (unintentional) nostalgia. He made this 54 year old guy feel like a kid and show again that our future doesn't lie in the past!
Man Overboard Poster
Man Overboard is Ian Hunter s 13th solo album since his eponymous debut in 1975. Recorded in late 2008 in Pawling, NY, the 11-song set is a stunning follow up to the overwhelmingly critically acclaimed Shrunken Heads album. Man Overboard was produced by Andy York (veteran guitarist for John Mellencamp) and Ian Hunter and features a backing band of superstar talent comprised of Steve Holley on drums and percussion (Wings, Joe Cocker), Paul Page on bass (Dion), Jack Petruzzelli on electric guitar (Rufus Wainwright, Joan Osbourne), James Mastro on electric guitar (Patti Smith, John Cale), Andy Burton on piano and organ (The Db s) and Producer Andy York on guitar and backing vocals. Many of the band members are returning from the Shrunken Heads sessions. Regarding Man Overboard, Ian Hunter stated, When we did Shrunken Heads, I felt like we had a good thing going so I wanted to revisit the experience before anything changed, and that s what we did.Classic Rock Music CDs
