LizKAug 2, 2009I think that Ian Hunter has pulled all the stops on this one. The album starts off with a bang and keeps going. I love 'The Great Escape", "Up and Running" "Girl from the Office" "Flowers", and of course the title track "Man Overboard". I love it more and more with each hearing, and put it up with his best work. Great companion to Shrunken Heads.

DrewWAug 3, 2009Ian is on a roll, this is his 3rd gem in a row. For those of us who loved Mott, you will not be disappointed. Yes there's bite in those love songs and they deserved to be heard.

DaveMAug 3, 2009Ian continues to improve with age. Another fine album from someone who should be in the hall of fame!

Nothing here is flashy, which is keeping in a long tradition of Hunter's and is yet another reason why he's often called underrated, but when he's making records as rich and resonant as Man Overboard at the age of 70, it's hard not to listen with not a small degree of wonder.

The New Milford transplant has released a slew of solo albums, including the excellent new collection Man Overboard.

To hear a half-dozen sappy love songs from this notoriously poison pen, well, what the world needs now from Hunter is not love, sweet love.
