Mesh Match For "You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic" CD by Ian Hunter:


Ian Hunter Artist Snapshot:

When he left Mott the Hoople in 1974, Ian Hunter took Bowie sideman and late-era Hoople guitarist Mick Ronson with him, and further indulged the pub-rock-tinged, proto-new wave songwriting that made Hunter the MVP of his former band. His first solo outing featured the hit song "Once Bitten Twice Shy," which would be covered memorably by Great White a decade later. Hunter released well-crafted albums on a semi-regular basis throughout the '80s, '90s, and aughts, enjoying some FM hits and the continued respect of peers and younger artists, who appreciate the artist's deft blend of classic, rootsy melodicism with a slightly cock-eyed, punky point of view.

Review

Record Collector (magazine) (p.8) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "SCHIZOPHRENIC is an album of swashbuckling rock'n'roll, with emphatic vocal delivery [and] catchy up-tempo tunes..."

Title Note

Personnel: Ian Hunter (vocals, guitar, piano, organ, keyboards, percussion); Mick Ronson (guitars, percussion, background vocals); George Young (tenor saxophone); Lew Delgatto (baritone saxophone); John Cale (piano, keyboards); Roy Bittan (piano, organ, keyboards, background vocals); Gary Tallent (bass); Max Weinberg (drums); Eric Bloome, Rory Dodd, Ellen Foley (background vocals).

Recorded at the Power Station, New York in 1979.

While former Mott the Hoople singer/songwriter Ian Hunter's solo career started out strong, he stumbled on his third album, OVERNIGHT ANGELS. One of the reasons might have been the absence of longtime guitar foil/fellow Mott man Mick Ronson, who happily reappeared on the follow-up, YOU'RE NEVER ALONE WITH A SCHIZOPHRENIC. Perhaps not coincidentally, Hunter's fourth solo effort features some of the strongest (and most beloved) songs in his catalog. "Cleveland Rocks" is a hard-charging, Mott-like tune (many years later it would have a second life as the theme of TV's Drew Carey show), while "Ships" is a sweeping, romantic ballad, one of Hunter's loveliest (it would eventually be covered by none other than Barry Manilow). From poignant down-tempo tunes to tough-sounding rockers, SCHIZOPHRENIC is one of Hunter's most consistent solo albums.
