Glenn Hughes

Glenn Hughes' 1999 album The Way It Is features his impassioned voice on tracks like "You Kill Me," "Rain on Me," and "The Truth Will Set Me Free." An international cast of bandmembers, including Joakim Marsh, Marc Bonilla, and Stevie Salas flesh out the album's sound, which ranges from the funky "Take You Down" to the reflective "Don't Look Away."

Dirty Projectors' mastermind David Longstreth appears to be attracted to sounds that will simultaneously draw in and confound the average listener; he has a clear, sweet voice and a gift for well-crafted harmonies and melodies that bring out the innate beauty of his music, but he often weds them to fractured time signatures that cause the songs to shift gear at the least expected moments, and he tosses in sudden bursts of atonal skronk that are either bracing or puzzling, depending on your point of view.

Glenn Hughes is a true original. Vocalist, bass guitarist, and songwriter, Hughes has spent decades crafting a sound that uniquely blends hard rock, soul, and funk — all powered by his astonishing vocal range and style. Often referred to as a “singer’s singer,” he once earned the praise of Stevie Wonder, who called him his favorite white vocalist.

Rock legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Glenn Hughes returns with his new studio album “Chosen”, set for release on September 5th, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.

He’s been hailed “The Voice Of Rock”, and for good reason, as this 6 CD live box set happily testifies. With vocals soaked in blues and soul, but above all ROCK, Glenn Hughes has performed with many rock legends, including Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Hughes-Thrall, Trapeze and Black Country Communion. Despite his huge talents as a musician and as a songwriter, the 80s were relatively quiet era for Glenn, something that has been more than made up for in his much more prolific 90s, noughties and beyond. Spanning two decades, Disc One kicks this set off with “Incense And Peaches: From The Archives Volume 1”, an interesting and unusual set of demos and works in progress. Originally released in 2000 through Glenn’s own Pink Cloud Records, it was a collection of previously unreleased songs covering more laid back, pop and soul sounds rather than hard rock.

He has been quite rightly hailed as “The Voice Of Rock”, as this 6 CD live box set ably testifies. With vocals soaked in blues and soul, Glenn Hughes has fronted many legendary rock acts, including Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Hughes-Thrall, Trapeze and Black Country Communion. This third volume of unreleased live concerts from Glenn's solo career kicks off with a show from his 1995 tour to support his then latest album "Feel", plus the previous year's "From Now On… ", with an (almost) hometown solo appearance at the Wulfrun Hall in Wolverhampton on 17th November 1995 (CD1 & CD2). Spread across two discs, the set kicks off with songs from what were Glenn’s more recent solo offerings, with ‘Big Time', 'The Liar' and 'Push', before Trapeze classics 'Coast To Coast' and 'Way Back To The Bone'. It wouldn't be a Glenn show without featuring Deep Purple Mk3 and Mk4 hits, with 'This Time Around', 'You Keep On Moving' and 'Gettin' Tighter' from 1975's "Come Taste The Band", 'You Fool No One' and the title track from 1974’s "Burn" plus the title track from "Stormbringer".

I have been a big fan of Glenn's for many years, and for me the last few albums have been to funky and incomplete. This album shows Glenns Brilliant Vocal and song writing ability. My picks are The Boy Is Chasing The Blues, I'm Your Man and So Much Love To Give. For those of you that are a bit tired of Glenn's last few albums this will knok your socks off !
