About this album

All American Alien Boy is a sharp, reflective statement from Ian Hunter, pairing biting humour with melodic classic rock. Released in 1976, it followed his work with Mott the Hoople and showed how confidently he could step out on his own, balancing streetwise wit with a more personal, questioning tone. The album’s title track and songs such as Irene Wilde and Letter To Britannia From The Union Jack underline Hunter’s gift for character, commentary and memorable hooks. With its mix of piano-led writing, guitar bite and pointed lyrics, the record became an important early chapter in Hunter’s solo career and a favourite among fans of mid-1970s British rock.
