Ian Hunter makes one of his rare West Coast trips this weekend with shows at San Francisco's Fillmore (tonight), the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles (Jan. 29) and Orange County's Galaxy Theatre (Jan. 30). Hunter is coming off 2009's legendary Mott The Hoople five-night run of reunion shows and his current critically album, "Man Overboard," is a strong work. Our friend Jon Jepson spoke to Hunter before he left for San Francisco about various subjects, including the Mott reunion and playing in Ringo's All-Starr Band. Jon also was able to get the surprising truth about a secret collaborator. Jon has graciously allowed us to use his interview, which is excerpted here. The complete version is in our Vintage Rock 'n' Roll Examiner page.
Jon Jepson: It's been ten years since you toured in Ringo's All Star Band. What was your experience like playing with people you'd never played with before?

Thank you!
I can't read the interview. When I click on the link it says "You have attempted to access a file or directory to which there is no public access."
Still can't read the interview. Are you going to fix the link so we can read the entire interview?
The old link worked fine for me, but I've edited it with the direct link from the home page. Try it now.
Thanks!
Thanks for fixing the link that is. And the interview!
