Music reviews of All the Young Dudes
Music Review: Classic Mott Restored
Rating: 5 Stars
"All The Young Dudes" was the first Mott The Hoople album I ever bought, and over 30 years later it remains their finest moment. "Dudes" was the group's fifth album, and their last with all five original members (Verden Allen was the first to go, in January 1973). Some complain of Bowie's typically thin mix (cf. "Raw Power"), or the slight distraction of the ringing telephone during "One Of The Boys", but for me the silliness at the end of "Violence" on the followup, "Mott" is far more of an irritant. "Mott" is a fine meditation on the ups and downs of rock and roll life, but "Dudes" - as sexy, liberating, and haunting today as it was in '72, remains the groups most potent statement and viscerally powerful music. Note I say 'group,' for this is also the last Mott album with everbody in the band (except drummer Buffin) very much involved in the songwriting.
Of course, Bowie's title song is the centerpiece, but Mott's performance is passionate and definitive. Elsewhere the band rocks slow and steady ('Sucker') as well as fast and crunchy (the Stones-like 'Jerkin Crocus', vastly superior to "Mott's" too-similar 'Drivin' Sister'). Verden Allen's 'Soft Ground'is a fine song and great change of pace, but it should be noted that Mick Ralphs' 'Ready For Love' - all 7 minutes of it - beats the rather pat Bad Company version hands down and features some of Ralph's most lyrical playing on the marvelous, extended instrumental coda. Other selling points: Ian Hunter's passionate closer 'Sea Diver', which hints (but does not succumb to) the slightly melodramatic tendencies evident on Mott's next two studio albums, and fabulously appropriate cover art.
This newly expanded version, it should go without saying, blows the old Sony CD away. The bonus cuts are strong, though it makes little sense to close with live Mott from Ariel Bender's tenure rather than something featuring Ralphs and Allen. With this new "Dudes," released concurrently with a superbly remastered/expanded "Mott" the entire original Mott The Hoople catalog has been expanded and remastered for the 21st century.
The Island/Atlatic albums have been beautifully upgraded by the Angel Air label, and "The Hoople" is available as a Sony import, now with excellent bonus tracks and superior sound (beware, it is not the first one listed at amazon, but can be identified by the "import" designation and slightly abbreviated title ("Hoople" rather than "The Hoople") in amazon's listings. One of the best rock and roll bands of the first half of the '70s is finally getting it due.
