Well-traveled, skilled guitarist and bassist, best known for stints with Trapeze and Deep Purple.
Starting out as the bassist and lead vocalist for English hard rockers Trapeze (which evolved from British soulsters the News) in 1969, Glenn Hughes achieved his greatest fame as the bass player of Deep Purple from 1974 until the group split in 1976. Hughes subsequently reconvened Trapeze (with no records resulting) and issued his solo debut, Play Me Out, in 1978. His next effort, recorded with guitarist Pat Thrall under the name Hughes/Thrall, appeared in 1983, and worked in the supergroup Phenomena in 1985…
Solo album by former Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Trapeze vocalist/ bassist Glenn Hughes. Guest guitarists include former Europe player John Norum, Mick Mars of Mötley Crüe, Warren DeMartini of Ratt and Richie Kotzen of Poison, Mr. Big and Mark Kendall of Great White fame.
He’s been hailed “The Voice Of Rock”, and for good reason, as this 7 CD live box set ably testifies. With vocals soaked in blues and soul, Glenn Hughes has played with and fronted many legends of rock, including Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Hughes-Thrall, Trapeze and Black Country Communion.
