Marc Hunter - Island Nights (1979)

Completely naff yet totally awesome. I'm loving Marc Hunter hard at the moment. As well as being a solo artist he sang lead vocals with the Aussie rock group Dragon who are equally as generically tramp yet cool. The lyrics are very Vic and Bob-esque with 'tattooed leather gypsies and burnt out saxophones'. The best line? At one point he sings 'Nothing grows in Holland. Nothing ever will'. It could be Harlem or something else. Can't tell. No shit.
