Summary
This week on Rockonteurs we have another hero to Guy and Gary as we welcome Ian Hunter to the podcast. We think Ian has just made one of the best albums of his career with ‘Defiance – Part 1’ which is coming out on April 21st. The new album is a star-studded collaborations project with the likes of Joe Elliott, Billy Gibbons, Slash, Johnny Depp and two late great legends, Jeff Beck and Taylor Hawkins. This was Jeff’s very last recording.
With tales of Bowie, Mick Ronson, Ringo and Mott the Hoople this is another classic episode of Rockonteurs.
Produced by Ben Jones for Gimme Sugar Productions.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
