As leader of '70s British rock legends Mott The Hoople and as a hugely influential solo artist, Ian Hunter is widely revered as one of rock'n'roll's most compelling performers and one of its most articulate songwriters.

The new album's 11 Hunter written originals include such infectious, personally charged numbers as the wry, socially conscious title track "When I'm President", the gently introspective "Fatally Flawed" the bittersweet ballad "Black Tears," the chugging rocker "Wild Bunch," the swaggering "I Don't Know What You Want" and the vivid, haunting "Ta Shunka Witco (Crazy Horse)" - all of which showcase the jagged immediacy of Hunter's one-of-a-kind voice and the punchy authority of his longstanding all-star backup combo the Rant Band.
