Biography
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.
The first important band Hughes was a member of that achieved notable success was Trapeze, while in 1973 he joined one of the most popular bands in the world, Deep Purple. The trailblazing hard-rock legends had just weathered the departure of vocalist Ian Gillan and bass guitarist Roger Glover, but guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, keyboardist Jon Lord and drummer Ian Paice continued with the addition of Hughes and David Coverdale. Any skepticism was squelched with the 1974 release of Burn. This stunning album rejuvenated the band and stands tall among Deep Purple classics.
In the halcyon days, Purple headlined at the famous California Jam in 1974 in front of quarter of a million people. World tours via Purple’s own jet plane, ‘The Starship’ and two more studio albums later, (the Hughes influenced Stormbringer and Come Taste the Band), Deep Purple finally split in 1976.

His music is sharpened to perfection, there is no place banality, multiplied by attempts to copy the pathos of other artists.

Just listening for the first time to "First Underground Nuclear Kitchen" (with a title like that, it can't be anything else than Funk) and I am loving it. I love old school Hard Rock and Metal, but Glenn's voice shines at it's best with Soul and Funk. Fine stuff...

"Music for the Divine" is a wonderful album. You may eventually want to check out "Soul Mover", "Feel", "Songs in the Key of Rock" and "First Underground Nuclear Kitchen" as well, for they are equally good. Glenn is an incredibly gifted singer and a very good songwriter as well.

I've got a kick-ass album from the "Hughes/Thrall Band" which is great! I doubt a lot of people have heard that one.

Aside from Purple or Iommi, what's the best "heavier" album/band Glenn was involved with? I'd like to check out more of his stuff.
