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 second part of a two-volume authorised biography offers inside stories from Ian' s solo career following his departure from Mott the Hoople, including his collaborations with Mick Ronson, Queen and Bruce Springsteen' s E Street Band, and reflects on resonant recordings such as ' You' re Never Alone with a Schizophrenic' , ' Shrunken Heads' , ' Fingers Crossed' , ' Once Bitten Twice Shy' , ' Ships' and ' Dandy' - his homage to David Bowie. Based on interviews with Ian Hunter and an impressive cast of supporting characters, ' Rock ' n' Roll Sweepstakes: Hunter by Proxy' is a fascinating and frank exploration of Ian' s honest and distinctive style, his articulate "better than Dylan" writing and the absurdity of music-related fame.
Campbell Devine is the leading authority and archivist concerning all the dudes in Mott the Hoople. A regular contributor to the Outsider, Devine researched for three years to complete ' All the Young Dudes' , the definite tome on Mott, Ian Hunter, Guy Stevens, and anyone associated with the legendary British band. Devine wrote the liner notes in the posthumous Mick Ronson release ' Just Like This' . He also remains the prime source of the band' s arcana, too much of which has been buried by the sands of time.
