Hello all,
Here is the New West press release from 19 May 2009:
Man Overboard will be issued on 21 July 2009, and is Ian Hunter's 13th solo
album since his eponymous debut in 1975. Recorded in late 2008 in Pawling NY,
the 11-song set is a stunning follow up to the overwhelmingly critically
acclaimed Shrunken Heads album. Man Overboard was produced by Andy York (veteran
guitarist for John Mellencamp) and Ian Hunter and features a backing band of
superstar talent comprised of Steve Holley on drums and percussion (Wings, Joe
Cocker), Paul Page on bass (Dion), Jack Petruzzelli on electric guitar (Rufus
Wainwright, Joan Osbourne), James Mastro on electric guitar (Patti Smith, John
Cale), Andy Burton on piano and organ (The Db's) and Producer Andy York on
guitar and backing vocals. Many of the band members are returning from the
Shrunken Heads sessions. Regarding Man Overboard, Ian Hunter stated, "When we
did Shrunken Heads, I felt like we had a good thing going so I wanted to revisit
the experience before anything changed, and that's what we did."
