Once Bitten Twice Shy (Columbia/Legacy)

Credits

Lead Performance: Ian Hunter; Genre: Reissues

By Scott Schinder

In an inconsistent but inspired solo career, ex-Mott the Hoople leader Hunter has maintained his band's trademark mix of roguish swagger and tough-minded introspection. This two-disc set omits some key tunes and replaces others with inferior versions, but its sly anthems (''Cleveland Rocks,'' the title track) and forthright ballads (''Boy,'' ''Ships'') affirm the unshakable humanity and integrity of this true rock & roll believer. B+
