Mott, the sixth studio album from Mott the Hoople, came out in July 1973, and it's the sound of a band that had been on the brink of breaking up now strutting like it owned the joint. A year after David Bowie talked them into staying together and handed them "All the Young Dudes", Ian Hunter, Mick Ralphs, Overend Watts and Dale Griffin made a glam-slammed hard rock record with Hunter's wry, streetwise voice front and center.
Organist Verden Allen had gone, so Ralphs covered most of the organ and keyboard parts on top of his guitar, and it was his last go-round with the band too. An edited "All the Way from Memphis" got plenty of play on US radio, won them fans overseas and reached the UK Singles Chart, while "Drivin' Sister" revs just as hard. The album went to number seven in the UK.
