I just read the message. Although it's great that Glenn has a new deal I think it must be heartbreaking for him having to do this album instead of the funk album we had been promised.
Here is a quote from an earlier Glenn interview from Coast to Coast:
"I've been writing for two years what I consider to be like a quest for my next record. It's not gonna be just another record, it's a big part of my history. So I didn't wanna make just another rock album. I wanted to make an album which says something from my heart. Some of the albums I've done in the last 5 or 6 years have been for record companies that wanted that specific record. You know pigeonholed into say doing a blues album, then we'll do like a variety of stuff then we'll do a rock album then we'll do
an AOR album and you know, the real Glenn Hughes has now been transformed. Now everybody that knows me has been trying to tell
me to make an album that I really really wanna make myself.
I'm writing, I'm making music now that will be on my next record which I consider to be closer to the real Glenn than we've had in a long time. You know I just can't compromise anymore.
I gotta live in my own skin. I don't wanna have to please some suit anymore. I've been lucky to have made enough money or money coming in
to take care of the bills, so it's not like I'm saying it with an egocentric attitude. I've come to a point in my life where I gotta please myself first musically. "
So what happened ???????????????
Big disapointment.
