Wildlife is the third studio album by the British band Mott the Hoople.

The album was originally released in 1971; in the UK by Island Records (catalogue number ILPS 9144)

It reached No. 44 in the UK Albums Chart in April 1971.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album four stars out of five and stated:

Since they had little success and seemed to be going off the tracks, Mott the Hoople was encouraged to produce their third album with anyone that wasn't Guy Stevens. Eventually, they chose themselves, creating a record that is bright and punchy, standing in direct contrast to Mad Shadows' enveloping fog. They wound up with Wildlife, a record that still seems a little transitional, yet is considerably more confident, unified, and enjoyable. [1]

Track listing[edit]

Side one[edit]

  1. "Whiskey Women" (Mick Ralphs) – 3:42
  2. "Angel of Eighth Avenue" (Ian Hunter) – 4:33
  3. "Wrong Side of the River" (Ralphs) – 5:19
  4. "Waterlow" (Hunter) – 3:03
  5. "Lay Down" (Melanie Safka) – 4:13

Side two[edit]

  1. "It Must Be Love" (Ralphs) – 2:24
  2. "Original Mixed-Up Kid" (Hunter) – 3:40
  3. "Home Is Where I Want to Be" (Ralphs) – 4:11
  4. "Keep a Knockin' (live at Fairfield Halls, Croydon, 13 September 1970)" (Richard Penniman) – 10:10 (*)

(*) This track is a rock and roll medley that, in addition to "Keep A Knockin'", also includes snippets of "I Got A Woman" (by Ray Charles), "What'd I Say" (Charles) and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" (Jerry Lee Lewis). On the recording, however, singer Ian Hunter incorrectly introduces "What'd I Say" as being written by Jerry Lee Lewis.
