Steve Hyams

United kingdom rock journeyman who will most likely not even sound familiar if you have memorized Pete Frame’s Family members Trees and shrubs, his big moment (such as for example it had been) was holding the lead singer/rhythm guitarist slot in Mott the Hoople within their about to die, post-Ian Hunter times. Hyams also performed in rings that included people of Vehicle Der Graaf Generator, Spooky Teeth, Fleetwood Mac pc, and Ian Dury’s Blockheads, although he under no circumstances recorded with some of them. He produced a run-of-the-mill middle-’70s rock and roll LP, Mistaken Identities, that just made it so far as the promo duplicate stage, even though material (with many bonus paths) surfaced on the 1997 Compact disc. In retrospect, his biggest achievement appears to have been presenting Mott the Hoople (years before he became a member of them) towards the music of David Bowie, which greased an association that might be instrumental in Mott’s profession.
