3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting failure, May 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Secret Sessions (Audio CD)

Interesting group of collaborators. It doesn't quite gel. Ian Hunter co-writes three tracks (and sings them), while contributing his classic song The Outsider. Essential for Hunter, Mott The Hopple or Mick Ronson fans.

Great CD. Ian Hunter et.al. The ideo clip of "the outsider" is grainy but fantastic! That clip is worth the price of the cd.

Well, it's not a secret anymore. What should've been a great record just didn't happen here. From Corky Laing to Mick Ronson to Ian Hunter, everyone associated with playing on this are very talented individuals so certainly all the right people were involved. I wanted so much to like this record. And with their creative minds writing new, original material for it this should've been a great and memorable record. Despite the fact that the vocal harmonies are there, probably the biggest reason this "secret session" never saw the light of day until now is the fact that the songs just aren't interesting despite whatever political crap the artists and their respective record companies were going through at the time that delayed its release. This record should've just stayed a secret.
