Ian Hunter's fifty-year-long career and extensive repertoire of percipient, creative songs have earned him a reputation as a true rock phenomenon. This second part of a two-volume authorised biography offers inside stories from Ian's solo career following his departure from Mott the Hoople, including his collaborations with Mick Ronson, Queen and Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, and reflects on resonant recordings such as 'You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic', 'Shrunken Heads', 'Fingers Crossed', 'Once Bitten Twice Shy', 'Ships' and 'Dandy' - his homage to David Bowie. Based on interviews with Ian Hunter and an impressive cast of supporting characters, 'Rock 'n' Roll Sweepstakes: Hunter by Proxy' is a fascinating and frank exploration of Ian's honest and distinctive style, his articulate "better than Dylan" writing and the absurdity of music-related fame.

Devine, Campbell: - Campbell Devine is the leading authority and archivist concerning all the dudes in Mott the Hoople. A regular contributor to the Outsider, Devine researched for three years to complete 'All the Young Dudes', the definite tome on Mott, Ian Hunter, Guy Stevens, and anyone associated with the legendary British band. Devine wrote the liner notes in the posthumous Mick Ronson release 'Just Like This'. He also remains the prime source of the band's arcana, too much of which has been buried by the sands of time.
