Description
Mott the Hoople and Ian Hunter in the 1970s Decades by John Van Der Kiste is a detailed look at the band's history, from their formation with songwriter Ian Hunter in 1969 to their eventual success in the early 1970s. The book explores how they formed a unique sound that drew inspiration from various artists of the time. The story takes a fascinating turn when the band joins forces with David Bowie, leading to immediate chart success and a string of hits. However, internal conflicts soon arise, and Ian Hunter goes on to pursue a solo career, while the rest of the group struggles to find their footing again. Despite this, Mott the Hoople released some highly individual music during the 1970s that went on to inspire other notable acts. This book provides an in-depth look at the band's experiences, both successes and setbacks, offering a unique perspective on one of rock music's most fascinating periods.
