Description

Glenn Hughes made his name predominatly from his 3 years in Deep Purple in the mid 70's where he took the band on more funky path which, depending on your tastes, either pleased or horrified you. From the late seventies to the early 90's Glenn's considerable talents were largely unheard apart from the occasional offering which were, apart from Play Me Out, collaorations or guest appearances (Hughes and Thrall, Tony Iommi, Gary Moore and Phenomena). During this period he battled drug dependency and even the most optimistic fan must have felt that his days as a prolific artist were over. Howevermore…, in the last 10-12 years Glenn's output has been amazing and it seems as if he's been releasing at least 3 albums a year. I was happy to see him back but for some reason (maybe the fear of diappointment) I was reluctant to buy the new stuff. Anyway I recently read an interview with Glenn and his positive vibe and comments about working with Chad Smith and the funky element he had reignited inspired me to go out and buy Soul Mover on the day of release (yesterday). Even though I've only had one night to listen to it I can safely say this is a really good album, full of energy. It has a modern production but the riffs, grooves and arrangements have a seventies feel. The title track is almost Hendrixy and Glenns voice sounds very, very strong still. The other track that stuck out on the first couple of listens was Orion, but the whole album was consistently good. One last comment, Dave Navarro plays on this album and is featured quite heavily in the inner sleeve / booklet. He actually only plays on two of the tracks, but do not be disappointed, this guy JJ Marsh is a serious player who mixes a classic style with modern techniques but overall keeps it, like Glenn and Chad, very funky. If you've never listened to Glenn before check this out along with 'Play Me Out' (solo)and 'Burn', 'Stormbringer' or 'Come Taste the Band)(all Purple).
