Ian Hunter - Dirty Laundry

Repressing. 2007 reissue of this album, which has been out of print for nearly a decade. This project was initiated in the summer of 1994 by keyboardist Casino Steel, formerly of the Punk band the Boys, who was planning to record an album with some friends and invited Ian Hunter to join them in the studio. What emerged was a hard rocking affair that saw Hunter return closer to his Mott-ley musical roots than he had in recent years. The roll call of musicians involves reads like a British Punk/New Wave who's who! Specifically guitarist's Honest John Plain and Darrell Bath. Bath could list the UK Subs, Dogs D¹Amour and the Godfathers on his CV while Plain had been a Lurker and, with Steel, one of the Boys. A link with the front man's Mott the Hoople past showed up in the shape of Blue Weaver, who took turns on keyboards with Casino Steel. Sex Pistols bass player Glen Matlock completed the cast list. This release consists of twelve songs; three are Hunter songs, four Hunter collaborations and the other five originate from the rest of the band. Cherry Red.
