Album Description
Available in:
Mott is a 1973 album by British band Mott the Hoople. "All the Way from Memphis", an edited version of which was released as a single, received considerable airplay on U.S. radio and captured the band many overseas fans, as well as reaching the UK Top 10.
It was clear by the time Mott was released that Ian Hunter had become the dominant figure of the band. Aside from the lead track, the album includes introspective songs such as "Ballad Of Mott The Hoople", which exposes Mott’s near break-up, and the peculiar "I Wish I Was Your Mother", featuring multi-tracked mandolin, in which Hunter sings of his wish to see his love as a child. Hard rockers are given their due with "Whizz Kid", "Drivin’ Sister", "Violence" and "Honaloochie Boogie", the last-named being another UK single. A fine performance is delivered by Hunter in the almost religious "Hymn For The Dudes."
The album has featured different covers in the UK and U.S. releases, as well as remastered tracks on some editions. The US cover featured a photo of the four band members with the word "MOTT" on it, with "Mott The Hoople" written in the O. The UK front cover featured a motif based on the bust of a Roman Emperor, with a strange text. Initial copies had a gatefold sleeve with the Emperor motif printed on a transparent plastic sheet. The emperor motif would appear again of the inner sleeve of The Hoople, the band's next and final album in both the US and UK. A remastered and expanded version was released by Sony's Columbia/Legacy imprint in the United States in 2006.
A song written by Verden Allen, "Son of the Wise Ones", was originally going to be recorded for the album, but after he left the band, he refused to let the band perform it.
