Gorgeous song.. i had it on a single and it got so crackly from being played and thrown about over the years.. so glad to find it here.. big thanks for posting..
Ian Hunter has been married to the same woman, Trudi for decades. Quite an accomplishment given the nature of a rock and roll life! Ian's daughter (and Mick Ronson's daughter) sang backup at the recent Mott Renunion in the UK.
Keep on rocking, and writing those great songs, Ian!
Wow! Just found this... brings back memories, this was track 6 of the love of my life's favourite album, by the time it had played hrough to this point we'd be well & truly into it if you get my drift!
Who's the girl in the slides? Who was Trudi?
Saw MTH at the Hammy-O in London last night,n great show!
I think Trudi was a reference to Ian Hunter's wife. The girls in the slide are Theda Bara and Clara Bow from the old Hollywood silent films. Thanx for the comment.
i can honestly say i like all the MTH albums, but this one (The Hoople), brings back the most favorite memories, and the most fantastic "ballads" (Through the Looking Glass). i have always told my brother, when i die, i want this album played at some point on that day-to someone.
Trudi's Song, wow-didn't think anyone remembered this one.
Mott The Hoople were one of my favourite bands in the early seventies, Trudie's Song is one of my all time favs, I recall that Ian wrote this for his wife (Trudie)
This is my favourite Mott The Hoople song, and one of my favourite songs ever. Nice visuals, whoever you are. I've really enjoyed this tonight, thank you.
