 The instinct and talent of a first-rate songwriter have always flowed copiously in the mind of Ian Hunter, and even this work of his from 2001, the tenth and penultimate (for now) under his name, only confirms it.

 I wanted fame, but then there’s nothing when you get there... The only important thing for me is what comes next. You’re only worth what you’ll do next, the rest doesn’t matter. Can you imagine a field where only one cow is left out of a herd? That is success: remaining.
