[egnbigdave]

[bobgure]

My fave album.  Beginning to end.

[seranda73]

One of the best song ever! And one of the best (debut) album of all time!

Ian Hunter, 1975: a REAL masterpiece!

Ian Hunter, n.1!!!

[MrMotthead69]

my personal fave solo Ian song ever...simply soul-warming...

[Tuzotonic]

I think I can safely say that Ian Hunter is THE unsung hero in the history of rock music. He should be known by everyone yet that makes him even more of a treasure to those of us who love good music. From his days with Mott to his solo work he has always stayed true to his vision and never sold out while making great music.

[seranda73]

@Tuzotonic I embrace you for your words! :' )

IAN HUNTER RULES! : )

This song brings back memories first the LP then the 8track.

"Where do you go when you have somewhere to run, when the time isn't right but theres things to be done..."

[louiebulldog]

hmmmmm there is no best song on the album, it really depends on the transient mood.....this lp is so soul satisfying
