Read more »Glenn Hughes recently made an appearance on the Mick Wall’s podcast (season 5, episode 9). It’s over an hour long, with lots and lots of dirt being turned over and war stories told, good half of it Purple-related one way or the other. We highly recommend finding the time to listen to the whole thing […]
