The return of well-traveled British hard rocker Glenn Hughes offers nothing revolutionary in the realm of hard rock and heavy metal. It does, however, confirm that Hughes is among the finest in fusing rock with funky rhythms and unquestionable grandiloquence. And when most aging rock vocalists exhibit obvious signs of wear and tear by age 50 or so, Hughes continues with a range and strength of voice every bit as steadfast as with his early years in Deep Purple. ~ Dave Sleger
