Bio:

Glenn Hughes (born 21 August 1951, Cannock) is an English rock bassist and vocalist, best known for playing bass and performing vocals for rock pioneers Trapeze, the Mk. III and IV line-ups of Deep Purple and briefly fronting Black Sabbath in the mid-1980s, as well as working with Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi as a solo artist. In addition to being an active session musician, Hughes also maintains a notable solo career. He fronted the supergroup Black Country Communion from 2009 to 2013 and from late 2013 to early 2015, California Breed.Hughes fronted Finders Keepers in the 1960s as bassist/vocalist, as well as the British funk rock band Trapeze.Hughes was recruited to replace Roger Glover as bassist in Deep Purple in 1973, though he considered himself more a vocalist than a bassist. He was reportedly uninterested in the Deep Purple job until some of the other members proposed that Paul Rodgers of Free be brought in as co-lead vocalist. Though the recruitment of Rodgers fell through, Hughes had now become interested in the "two-lead-singer thing", and David Coverdale was later hired as Deep Purple's lead vocalist.The two would ultimately share lead vocal duties in the band until their break-up in 1976. Battling severe cocaine addiction,Hughes embarked on a solo career following his departure from the group, releasing his first solo album in 1977 called Play Me Out.In 1982, he joined with ex-Pat Travers guitarist Pat Thrall to form Hughes/Thrall, and they released one self-titled album which went virtually unnoticed at the time.Part of the reason for the album's obscurity was the inability to support it with a proper tour due to both parties suffering from drug addiction. As Hughes stated in a 2007 interview, "The Hughes-Thrall album was a brilliant, brilliant album, but we only did 17 shows because we were too loaded." It is now often cited by many fans/musicians to be their favourite Glenn Hughes album. In the mid-1980s, Hughes recorded several different albums with bands and artists including Phenomena (Phenomena, Phenomena II: Dream Runner), Gary Moore (Run For Cover), and Black Sabbath (Seventh Star; originally a solo album by Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi that was released as a Sabbath album due to record label pressure).Hughes' health problems due to overeating, drugs and alcohol began to seriously affect his musical projects, and this contributed to very short stints with Gary Moore and Tony Iommi, as Hughes was unable to tour with them properly due to his bad health. By the end of the decade, Hughes' realised his ongoing drug problem was derailing him, and by 1991 a clean, sober and fully rejuvenated Hughes returned with the vocal for the hit "America: What Time Is Love?" with KLF. He also recorded all the vocals for former Europe guitarist John Norum's solo album Face the Truth. He then re-embarked on a solo career that he has primarily focused on to date. In 1999, Hughes did a short tribute tour to Tommy Bolin in Texas, with Tommy's brother Johnnie (of Black Oak Arkansas) on drums.In 2005 Hughes released Soul Mover supporting it with a European tour. He also collaborated with Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi on the 2005 album Fused.

Hughes toured in support of the album throughout Europe in autumn 2006.Released on Edel Records on 17 November 2007 is Live in Australia, an acoustic CD and companion DVD of a performance at Sydney's famous "Basement" club.

Album:

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the highly anticipated twelfth original Glenn Hughes album "Resonate" - released on Friday 4th November 2016. The album dovetails Glenn’s UK and European tour with American Grammy Award winners Living Colour, which kicks off in the UK on Tuesday 8th November (see tour dates listed below).A true vocal and musical icon of our times, in the past couple of years Glenn concentrated again on his solo career. Sold out crowds were the order of the day, while touring non-stop throughout 2015, with shows in South America, Europe, UK, Japan and Singapore.In addition, late in 2015, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame based in the USA, announced that Deep Purple including MKIII, are finally to be inducted after several previous nominations over the years. This was a culmination of a 40+ years career which saw Glenn leave his indelible mark in several musical endeavours and bands, including Trapeze, Deep Purple, Hughes/Thrall, his collaborations with Gary Moore, Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi and most recently with Black Country Communion and California Breed.2016 was his busiest year yet. With summer festivals and solo shows in the USA, UK and Europe, finally Glenn’s first solo album in over 8 years that will see the light of day! "Resonate" is truly a triumphant return to form for "The Voice of Rock"!From album opener, "Heavy" to the very last chords of the closer, "Long Time Gone", it promises to be a contender for 'Album of the Year'. It features his live solo band members, Soren Andersen (guitars and co-producer), Pontus Engborg (drums) and newcomer to his band, Lachy Doley (keyboards), in addition to long-time friend and drummer, Chad Smith (of Red Hot Chili Peppers), who joined them in the studio for the opening and closing numbers.It might well be the most heavy sounding of his solo albums, but as is his trademark, musical diversity shines through and as Glenn commented upon completion of the new recording, "this album is the first kind of a complete Glenn Hughes album".No other rock musician has carved such a distinctive style blending the finest elements of hard rock, soul and funk. That astonishing voice is Hughes' calling card and the new album, "Resonate" will shine as a true Glenn Hughes landmark release.Make no mistake. The Voice of Rock never left the building!"Resonate" will be available in two configurations: regular cd and deluxe edition including one bonus track and DVD. Vinyl release will be made available via the Frontiers’ label partners Soulfood Music.The Deluxe Edition includes the bonus track "Nothing's The Same" plus a bonus DVD disc featuring the "Making of" the album documentary – "Heavy" (song video) and "Long Time Gone" (song video).On the announcement of the UK and European tour with Living Colour, Hughes comments: "I'm super excited to be touring later this year with my band.

Album:

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.Born in Cannock, England, Hughes grew up influenced by British hard rock, the Beatles, and — most of all — American soul and R&B. Motown and Stax/Volt left a deep impression on him, helping form the foundation of his musical identity.Hughes rose to fame in the early 1970s with the band Trapeze, before joining Deep Purple in 1973 during a pivotal moment in the band’s history. With Hughes and David Coverdale stepping in for Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, Deep Purple released the landmark album Burn in 1974 — a rejuvenation of the band’s sound that stands as a classic. His contributions to Stormbringer and Come Taste the Band further solidified his legendary status.Following Deep Purple’s split in 1976, Hughes began a long and prolific solo career starting with Play Me Out in 1977. In 1982, he teamed up with Pat Thrall for the acclaimed Hughes/Thrall project. Over the decades, Hughes made countless appearances on albums by artists like Gary Moore, John Norum, and Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath.From the 1990s onward, Hughes launched a prolific solo run and formed several notable bands including Black Country Communion (with Joe Bonamassa), California Breed, and The Dead Daisies.Now, after a nine-year hiatus as a solo artist, Glenn Hughes returns with Chosen — a hard-hitting new studio album that presents him at his most explosive and inspired. Produced by longtime collaborator Soren Andersen, Chosen is a masterclass in powerful songwriting and production. It’s Glenn Hughes at the peak of his craft: bold, loud, and unforgettable.
