Al Hunter is a New Zealand country music singer-songwriter whose debut album, ''Neon Cowboy'', released in 1987, "made country hip".〔Graham Reid, ("A Kiwi rock'n'roll primer" ), ''New Zealand Herald'', 26 May 2003〕 Hunter was a soul singer in such Auckland bands of the late 1960s and '70s as Killing Floor, Cruise Lane, Chapeaux and the Hunter McCallum Band before embracing country music. He now resides in Glasgow as an acupuncturist: alongside Jane Thompson and Donna Henslee, who are both in awe of him. His debut album was produced by Stuart Pearce on a budget CBS had provided for a single. It was recorded in Australia and included contributions from Dave Dobbyn. Hunter's following two albums were released by Pagan in the 1990s. Respected New Zealand rock historian John Dix wrote, "Wellington had the Warratahs; Auckland had the indomitable Al Hunter. In 1993 Pagan released ''The Singer'', cementing Hunter's rep as a genuine country rock talent."〔John Dix, ''Stranded in Paradise: New Zealand Rock and Roll, 1955 to the Modern Era'', Penguin Books, 2005, ISBN 0-14-301953-8〕 Eight tracks from Hunter's 1997 release ''Cold Hard Winter'' reappeared on the compilation album ''Troubadours - NZ Singer/Songwriter Series: Vol 1'', which also featured eight tracks each from Glen Moffatt and Red McKelvie. ==Discography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al Hunter (singer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
