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. Hughes then joined Black Sabbath as lead singer for 1986's The Seventh Star, departing after that album and eventually surfacing with -- of all artists -- the techno/house group the KLF, performing on their 1991 single "America -- What Time Is Love?." In 1993, Mike Varney's Shrapnel label issued the new Hughes solo album Blues,
on which he played bass and sang with an array of guest guitarists. A
string of solo releases followed through the '90s, including 1995's Burning Japan Live, 1997's Addiction
(which addressed some of the personal problems that had kept Hughes out
of recording for most of the latter half of the '80s), and 1999's The Way It Is. Mid-2000 saw the release of Return to Crystal Karma and Feel. The bluesy Building the Machine hit the shelves in 2001 while 2002's Hughes Turner Project coupled the bassist with another Deep Purple alumni, Joe Lynn Turner. Songs in the Key of Rock appeared in 2003, followed by Soul Mover
in 2005.Vocalist/bass guitarist/songwriter Glenn Hughes is a true
original. 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. He’s known as a singer’s
singer: in fact, Stevie Wonder once called Hughes his favourite white
singer.
Hughes, a native of Cannock, England, absorbed all kinds
of influences, including early British hard rock, The Beatles and, most
importantly, American soul and R&B. The sleek Motown sound from
Detroit and the gritty Stax/Volt sound from Memphis left their mark on
him.
released in November 2000
"I chose to produce the Xmas CD in a R&B, Jazz style, because this is the way I really heard them in my head. It also gave me the opportunity to once again sing in my 'other voice'. The one that is appropriate on these songs. My fave track 'Soulful Christmas', took 5 minutes to write, as did 'Coast to Coast'. It is the real GH. I didn't hear Donny Hathaway's original version of 'This Christmas'. He is one of my all time fave singers, (check out his 'Extensions Of A Man' CD). I had to listen to Gloria Estefan's version to write the chart out, and believe me, Hans' and my arrangement is waaaaaay better than hers!! I couldn't find a Donny Hathaway recording of this song. I know that he would be proud. Stevie Wonder told me that he could hear Donny's influence in my voice."
