The Artful Dodger is the 9th solo album of Ian Hunter. Impressed with the production on Dirty Laundry, Hunter collaborated again with Björn Nessjö on this album. [http://www.hunter-mott.com/discography/artful_dodger.html]
The album was initially released in Norway only, because Hunter felt that he needed management before he could release it in the UK and the US. [http://www.hunter-mott.com/discography/artful_dodger.html]
The track "Michael Picasso" was a tribute to the late Mick Ronson. [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:hvfixqlhld6e]
