Ian Hunter is the first solo album by Ian Hunter, recorded following his departure from Mott the Hoople. Released in 1975, it is also the first of many solo albums on which he collaborates with Mick Ronson.
The single "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" would be his first and last top-20 single in the UK. The pop-metal band Great White would later cover the song on their 1989 album ...Twice Shy.[3]
"Who Do You Love" and "3,000 Miles from Here" were covered by Joe Elliott's Down 'n' Outz on their 2010 album My ReGeneration.
