Rock'n'Roll Sweepstakes : The Official Biography of Ian Hunter (Volume 1)
Ian Hunter / Mott the Hoople - Book - by Campbell Devine
(2019)
Ian Hunter's fifty-year-long career and extensive repertoire of
percipient, creative songs have earned him a reputation as a true rock
phenomenon. This first part of a two-volume, authorised biography charts
Ian's unique musical journey from his formative rock 'n' roll years to
his commercial success as the face and voice of legendary Seventies
British band, Mott the Hoople. Featuring insider accounts of the
group's roller coaster ride and international triumphs via classic
records including `All the Young Dudes', `Roll Away the Stone' and MOTT,
this captivating book exposes personal trials and tribulations, the
bizarre aspects of the rock business and the absurdity of music-related
fame.
Based on interviews with Hunter, all his Hoople band mates
and an impressive cast of supporting characters, Rock 'n' Roll
Sweepstakes: Mott's the Story is a fascinating, frank biography of a
highly influential band and a special music icon.
