Legendary singer-songwriter, author and rock 'n' roll star Ian Hunter is proud to announce his highly anticipated new album DEFIANCE PART 2: FICTION. With DEFIANCE PART 2: FICTION, Ian Hunter follows up last year's critically acclaimed DEFIANCE PART 1 with a second collection of powerful new songs that are as passionate and powerful as anything he has to offer in his hall of fame.

D. Andrew (The Boxmasters). D.
