Bump in the Night (Ian McLagan album)
Encyclopedia
Bump in the Night is the second album by former Small Faces and Faces
keyboardist Ian McLagan
, released in 1981 on Mercury Records. Retaining Johnny Lee Schell from his debut, the album saw McLagan form the first edition of The Bump Band for the recording of the album, the line-up being McLagan (vocal, keyboards, guitar), Schell (guitar, vocal), Ricky Fataar (drums, piano, percussion, bass, vocal) and Ray Ohara (bass). The album is harder-edged than McLagan's others, with less emphasis on keyboards and more on guitars. As on his debut, his former bandmate Ron Wood appears as does saxophonist Bobby Keys. The album was McLagan's last solo album for nearly twenty years, though an extended play, Last Chance to Dance, came out in 1985 on Barking Dog Records.
