    I have heard versions of “Mistreated” in which the musicians try to turn the song into some kind of heavy metal anthem. “Mistreated” is a blues song. That feel comes through in this very good version, complete with volume swells and single coils.

    The main body of the song is very nicely done. I liked the jazzy arpeggios in the vocal improv section–recall that Coverdale did a vocal solo at the end of “Mistreated” in Purple–but here, it is a Hughes interpretation of that same idea–an interesting take on a Purple classic.

    Glenn Hughes–keeping that Mark III flag flying.

    This band formed well over a year ago, released an album referred to as a solo project of Chad’s.
