Our Take

Ah, Mott the Hoople, the iconic British rock band that brought us classics like "All The Young Dudes" and "Roll Away The Stone." Their latest compilation album, "The Very Best Of," is a retrospective journey through their illustrious career, showcasing their unique blend of glam, hard rock, and boogie-woogie.

From the opening track, "All The Way From Memphis," to the closing number, "Saturday Gigs," this album is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for any fan of 70s rock. The infectious energy and swagger of frontman Ian Hunter are on full display, reminding us why Mott the Hoople became such a beloved band in the first place.

The remastered tracks sound better than ever, with crisp guitars, pounding drums, and Hunter's distinctive vocals cutting through the mix. Standout moments include the anthemic "All the Young Dudes" and the soulful "Honaloochie Boogie," which still sound as fresh and exciting as they did when they were first released.

While some may argue that a best-of compilation doesn't do justice to Mott the Hoople's full catalogue, "The Very Best Of" serves as a perfect introduction for new fans and a delightful trip down memory lane for long-time listeners. So sit back, crank up the volume, and let Mott the Hoople's timeless rock 'n' roll sound transport you to a simpler, more glamorous era.

About the artist

Mott the Hoople

Hailing from the mean streets of Hereford, Mott the Hoople is the quintessential underdog rock band that somehow managed to claw their way to the top of the British charts in the early 1970s. Led by the enigmatic frontman Ian Hunter, this ragtag group of misfits blended glam rock theatrics with a gritty heartland rock sound that set them apart from their peers. With their iconic anthem "All the Young Dudes" serving as their rallying cry, Mott the Hoople captured the hearts of a generation with their raw energy and rebellious attitude. Despite facing numerous setbacks and lineup changes along the way, the band persevered and left an indelible mark on the music world. Whether they were tearing up the stage with their raucous live performances or waxing poetic about the struggles of everyday life, Mott the Hoople always managed to strike a chord with their fans. Their music may be rooted in the past, but their message of resilience and determination is as relevant today as it was back in the glory days of rock 'n' roll. So, if you're looking for a band that embodies the spirit of rock 'n' roll rebellion, look no further than Mott the Hoople. With their catchy hooks, infectious energy, and fearless ambition, they are a force to be reckoned with. Long live Mott the Hoople, the kings of glam rock grit!
