Sophmore effort worth picking up with remastered sound / 4
Mott's producer Guy Stevens was a bit of a loon. For "Mad Shadows" he pushed the band to the edge recording them live without any overdubs, had Ian Hunter make up a song for the album on the spot ("When My Mind's Gone")and didn't catch the fact that one of the drummer's pedals squeaked throughout the entire session. In other words, another typical Mott album experience.

Despite all of this, "Mad Shadows" is a worthy and frequently powerful follow up to the band's debut. While the band hated Stevens fly-by-the-seat of the pants production style here (in fact they hated it so much they produced their next album themselves), he was their Phil Spector. His unique production sound fit the band perfectly.

The album opens with the blast of Mick Ralphs' "Thunderbuck Ram". "No Wheels to Ride" and "You are One of Us" catches Hunter eschewing his Dylan fixation and developing his own voice as a singer/songwriter. The single that never was (and there's one on every Mott the Hopple album) is the excellent "Walkin' with a Mountain" written by Hunter and inspired by guitarist/singer Leslie West of Mountain one of the band's favorites and a major influence. "I Can Feel" wouldn't have sounded out of place on a John Lennon solo album and Ralphs' second song "Threads of Iron" features a blistering Hunter vocal. "When My Mind's Gone" is pure balderdash but powerful nevertheless. The sound quality is exceptional and the booklet notes very comprehensive.

The Angel Air edition of the album features two bonus tracks that haven't been available before except their appearence on the MOTT THE HOPPLE boxed set from 1998. Both fit in well with the album. We get Ralphs' demo for "It Would be a Pleasure" and an early verison of the Hunter/Allen co-write "How Long" which would, ultimately, be called "Death May Be Your Santa Claus" and appear on "Brain Capers".
Song "At the Crossroads"
Leaving me girl and moving on down the road
You left me many burdens such a heavy load
And it sure does bring me out when I think about what went down
Well the crossroads all my life it has been
And I'm so afraid but now I'm trying to see
I just rode on through life till I took the time to concentrate on you
Well you can teach me lots lessons
You can bring me a lot of gold
But you just can't live in Texas
If you don't have a lot of soul

I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time
Yes I'm leaving you babe cause now I know that you ain't mine
And where you're living now you'll find out and how that you never had a friend

Well you can preached me like a lesson
You can bring me a lot of gold
But you just can't live in Texas
If you don't have a lot of soul

Well I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time
Yes I'm leaving you girl cause now I know that you ain't mine
Some day a change will come and you'll be there beside me one more time
One more time
Yeah!
And you'll be there beside me
One more time
Yes you'll be there beside me
One more time

Pop music has had lots of big names who've taken breaks from their regular gigs to join forces with other big names. The happy results are music's ``supergroups.'' Here's a select history of notable supergroups:
Snow day a perfect time to cuddle up to YouTube (Saratogian)

"Ballroom Blitz" - Rock's One Perfect Single (Blogcritics.org)
After five decades of rock music - some forgotten vinyl 45s now gathering dust on the shelves of smalltown radio stations - there's one unanswered question. What was the perfect single? For years I've thought I've known the answer. I remember hearing it in my older brother's Mustang, on the only cool FM station in the entire state, giving it a teenaged glow that's never been matched. ...
