GLENN HUGHES: New Solo Album Will Contain 'The Most Varied Material'

November 15, 2005

According to a posting on GHPG.net, legendary vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) is currently working with RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith on the material for Hughes' new solo CD, which will be recorded at Smith's home studio in Hollywood, California. 12 songs have been written for the CD so far, with more to come. Says Chad, "It's the most varied material, from quite raw numbers, to balls-out rock, to epic 'Dont Let Me Bleed' types to hard funk. The engineer and mixer for the new PEPPERS record will do it... He's fantastic and was blown away by what were doing."

The upcoming effort will feature not only Chad, but also fellow CHILI PEPPER John Frusciante (guitar),who will perform on one song that he has co-written, and possibly some others as well. A tentative late spring/early summer release is expected.

Hughes's latest solo album, "Soul Mover", was released eaelier in teh year on Sanctuary Records. The CD was recorded live at Sound Image Studios in Los Angeles in the spring of 2004 and features Smith, JJ Marsh on guitar and Ed Roth on keyboards. The album also contains a special guest appearance by ex-RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and JANE'S ADDICTION guitarist Dave Navarro on the title track.

Hughes's most recent full-length release was a collaboration with BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi on Iommi's solo album "Fused". Joining Iommi and Hughes on "Fused" was former JOHN MELLENCAMP drummer Kenny Aronoff, who has also played sessions with the likes of THE ROLLING STONES, BOB DYLAN, ROD STEWART, ALICE COOPER, BOB SEGER, LYNYRD SKYNYRD and countless others.
