Glenn gets back to his '70s Deep Purple / Trapeze rock and roll roots!
2003 is the year in which Glenn Hughes releases an album which confirms his return to true rock form: 'Songs In the Key of Rock'.
The album features Glenn's signature, incredible vocals and rock / funk basswork, combined with a vintage, yet fresh approach. He has gone to great lengths to record everything in the good ol' '70s way using valve Marshall amps, Hammond organ, Fender bass and passionate performance. Glenn has quite clearly captured the essence of some of the great Rock and Roll classics from his past.
On 'Songs In the Key of Rock', "The Voice of Rock", Glenn Hughes is definitely back to ROCK!!!

Tracks:
1. In My Blood
"I wanted the opening track to have a lot of character. Also, right from the start this sets the album up for the rock listener"
2. Lost in the Zone
"For me this is a true classic rock song. I could have written this song while I was in Trapeze"
3. Gasoline
"I wanted to have a real Purple MKIII sounding track with me doing what Coverdale and Hughes would have done alone"
4. Higher Places (Song for Bonzo)
"As soon as the drum groove was established I wanted to dedicate it to John Bonham. This is a great vibe song"
5. Get You Stoned
"Had a lot of fun recording this track. Another song that could have been done in Trapeze. Chad Smith is awesome"
6. Written All Over Your Face
"My epic song on the album. In the early stages of writing the song I could hear it finished. one of my favorites"
7. Standing On The Rock
"This album needed this kind of song. I needed a track that had tremendous energy. It is very exciting and was a first take, as most of the vocals are on this album"
8. Courageous
"I wanted a '60s type song with hypnotic vibe between the guitar and bass. I think the chorus is fabulous and it is very melodic"
9. Secret Life *Bonus track
"Another track that could have been recorded by Trapeze and another of my favorites on the album"
10. The Truth
"I wrote this song while I was at a movie cinema. I love it because it is simple and I love it at the end where I sing 'so give it to me yeah yeah yeah'"
11. Wherever You Go
"I wanted to have a MKIII type song to finish. Instead of closing with a ballad I wanted to close with a more up-tempo song"
