It may or may not be the last
Louder Sound teases us with a Glenn Hughes interview slated to appear in an upcoming issue of the Classic Rock magazine.
Hughes’ latest solo album, Chosen, is set for release on September 5. It’s the first record to bear his name since 2016’s Resonate, but he tells Classic Rock that it may be the last.
“This may be the last Glenn Hughes solo album,” he says. “It was suggested that I needed to do one for the label, I owed them an album. So I thought, ‘OK, if that‘s the way it’s going to be’, and I wrapped my head around it.
“If I’ve got something else to say, then I’ll let you know, but I don’t know if i will have,” he tells CR. “I’m not going to retire, but making a solo album tears me up. They’re so personal, they just do a number on me.

Thanks for posting this very interesting interview 😊

That Glenn Hughes albums do not sell like hot cakes is something he is likely aware of since he released Play Me Out to almost universal indifference. For some reason, even people who like his singing and bass playing prefer Glenn in a band or at least collaborative set up, i.e. they prefer what he did and does with Trapeze, DP, Hughes Thrall, Gary Moore, Black Sabbath, Hughes Turner Project, BCC and Dead Daisies to his (by now quite substantial in number) solo albums which tend to populate the no man’s land between funk/RnB and Grunge with occasional AOR flourishes.
Unless Joe Bonamassa has had a radical change of heart, I don’t see BCC becoming a regular touring entity from now on.
