Mick Ronson (1974) Growing up and I'm Fine

 Bowie collaborator and lead guitarist, Mick Ronson was a big part of Bowie's successful Glam Rock phase contributing innovative guitar licks and production. So in 1974 he released his own solo album called Slaughter on 10th Avenue; it featured some Bowie-esque tunes particularly this collaboration. Growing and Up and I'm Fine features an wet piano drenched in re verb and a stomping, brash chorus that is insanely catchy and full of bravado. A hidden Glam rock gem that certainly rocks and a testament to Ronson's own song writing and individual talents the album is worth a listen.
