GLENN HUGHES – HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM METAL ODYSSEY!
GLENN HUGHES – “The Voice of Rock”. Metal Odyssey extends a loud Happy Birthday to vocal and music legend Glenn Hughes! On August 21, 1952, Glenn Hughes was born. Glenn turns a Rockin’ 58 years old today! Glenn Hughes has been the lead vocalist for both Deep Purple and Black Sabbath during his unreal legendary music career. Those are two bands that paved the road for Hard Rock and Heavy Metal as we all know, listen to and love it today.
In 2010, Glenn is Rockin’ better than ever with his new band – Black Country Communion, which also features Jason Bonham on drums. Glenn Hughes can easily be considered as one of the all-time greatest singers in Rock history… in my Metal opinion, Metal be thy name.
The genres of music that Glenn Hughes has performed, as both a vocalist and musician, coupled with being a songwriter and producer, are many… Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Blues, Funk and Soul to name quite a few. To say Glenn Hughes is a diverse vocalist and musician is an understatement. Glenn Hughes belongs in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, his contributions and talent stand alone, as he has stood the test of time.

I am huge Glenn Hughes fan that is due to his work with Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, also loved Trapaze. His solo stuff is very solid and I still spin his ‘Blues’ album, a great underrated artists who’s combination of blue eyed soul and metal make him a very unique artist.

I second your entire comment! It seems like Glenn Hughes is brought up in so numerous of interviews, when other musicians mention “influences”… and rightfully so.
