SynopsisSinger, bassist, and songwriter Glenn Hughes is a living, breathing embodiment of British rock; this book tells the compelling story of his career with Trapeze, Deep Purple, and more., Singer, bassist, and songwriter Glenn Hughes is a living, breathing embodiment of British rock, and his is a compelling story. Starting out in the 60s with beat combo Finders Keepers, he formed acclaimed funk-rock band Trapeze, then joined Deep Purple at their commercial peak. Flying around the world in the band's own jet, Hughes enthusiastically embraced the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. He played on three Purple albums, including the classic Burn. When Deep Purple split up in 1976, Hughes embarked on a series of solo albums, collaborations, and even a brief, chaotic spell fronting Black Sabbath. Along the way he battled crack addiction and cocaine psychosis, before surviving a clean-up-or-die crisis and recovering to rebuild his solo career. Hughes recounts his adventures and misadventures with honesty and humour, bringing us up to date with the formation of rock supergroup Black Country Communion. Glenn Hughes is a true original whose music blends hard rock, soul, and funk. Once described by Stevie Wonder as his favourite white singer, he achieved international fame with Deep Purple, and has since collaborated with artists including Tony Iommi, The KLF, and members of The Red Hot Chili Peppers. He formed his new group, Black Country Communion, in 2010.

Interesting enought but unstructured and repetitive
Fairly interesting book about Glenn Hughes, more a collection of stories and vignettes than a structured biography. The timeline seems to jump around a lot and there is repetition in the content. You don't really get to know much about other members of bands he was in, plus there are some stories from people like unknown mates of his who used to look after his house in LA which aren't very interesting. Plus, did i mention Glenn's voracious appetite for drugs? Don't worry, he does, many many many times and what it will do to you. Interesting that he contests some of the stories about himself told by people like Jon Lord and Gary Moore while he was so out of it at those times it seems unlikely that Glenn's version is correct. Regardless, an interesting book for fans of Purple and Glenn Hughes, worth it if you can pick it up for a few bucks. some interesting stuff about him and Bowie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
