GLENN HUGHES: New Solo Album Due In May

January 23, 2008

Legendary bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (ex-DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) and friends recorded a new album in the final weeks of 2007. RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS' Chad Smith played drums on the CD, and Luis Carlos Maldonado is one of the guitar players on it. Also, George Nastos, who played on the "Feel" and "Soulfully Live in the City of Angels" albums, is making his return.

Commented Hughes: "Well, well... I have in my hand the master copy of the new album... Yeah, I've already told you how I feel about it. I'm overjoyed, and I honestly can say that I am overcome with great happiness. Writing songs is the center of my life, and to finally hear the finished master of the new work has made me realize how far I've come since that fateful day in December '91. This album is a gift to myself that I want to share with all of you. I will announce the title here and a voice message on my, MySpace page very soon. Also the record company. We are scheduled for a world release party the first week of May.

"I wanna thank all of you who attended my mini-set at NAMM last Friday night. It was another milestone in live performances... and how much I enjoyed myself and the response was overwhelming. From that show, emails and proposals for future shows and events are already being planned. Glad we played at NAMM; almost didn't do it as I've been so busy. Met a lot of new friends there (you know who you are) some amazin' musicians... We are all family."
