Mott The Hoople (1973) Roll Away the Stone

 A single that would be re-recorded for the 1974 album The Hoople, a ballad heavy album, Roll Away the Stone, along with the Golden Age of Rock n Roll and Crash Street Kids are tough rockers and a throwback to the original spirit of 50s rock n roll and 60s soul. With doom laden guitars at the beginning, backing vocals and horns, the song is heavy but also features an excellent Ian Hunter lead vocals, while the chorus has a Motown quality to it. While Mott The Hoople are famous for one song but the quality of the production and Hunter' vocals are so much better than All the Young Dudes.
