GLENN HUGHES Creating "Funkiest Album Yet"; New Song Titles Revealed
October 13, 2007, 16 years ago
GLENN HUGHES (ex-DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) has issued the following studio update:
"Just wanted to give you all some info on the new, yet unrecorded album. My songs, and song-writing, have become more important to me these past couple of years, and lookin' at this made me realize that I need to be makin' music that is completely satisfyin' to me as an artist... When I got clean and sober in '91, I hadn't written anything in a few years, so when I was freed from the human bondage, the floodgates opened... all thru the nineties I was blessed with the serenity to move forward, and grow as a human being, and live and breathe in God's grace... Since Soulmover, and Music For The Divine, I have found a new belief in myself, not only as an Artist, but as a Man who is now come home...I asked myself a question this spring: 'What is the right and appropriate Musical path for me?'... The answer was quite simple, I have to make music that is pure and natural... It felt like I was seeing myself for the first time, and for once I had zero fear of what was in front of me. I had this feelin' early on in my career with 'You Are The Music, We're Just The Band'. I was just 20 years old when this album was recorded, but I had a strong vision, and I took my songs and arrangements to a new level in that period. For a young lad at that age to add alto sax, and vibes, and pedal steel, was pretty risky, but it worked like a charm. With my new album, I feel it is time to love myself enough, and be brave enough.
There will be more Glenn original songs than ever before. I have been in my studio day and night, when I am home in LA. This will be the funkiest album I've made so far. Yeah, I got somethin' cookin'. A couple song titles for you: 'We Go To War' and 'Imperfection'.
I'll be updating my blog a little later in the year. I love you, my Brothers and Sisters."
