"'Songs In The Key Of Rock' is, without question, the best solo CD that Glenn Hughes has ever released.Glenn fans will need no more than this to pick up the CD.The CD is, as the title suggests, pure rock, 70's style.I own everything that Glenn has released and I just love this CD. It has not left my player in over a week.One word of warning: This CD is a "grower". Initially, I was disappointed with the CD after the first listen. After 5 to 10 full listens, I was hooked. Just brilliant!!! The CD and songs really do grow on you. The best CD's are always like this with me.Overall, top-notch playing by all musicians and Glenn is ... well, Glenn. Nuff said.I will not critique the tracks on the CD. There is no need. That said, my favourite is "Wherever You May Go". Awesome!!! Glenn fans, don't hesitate to pick this one up. 100% pure rock with Glenn sounding better than ever.Bring on HTP II: I can't wait!!!'Songs In The Key Of Rock' - 5 Stars!!!"
Finally a solid solo effort from Glenn Hughes

"Glenn Hughes has been very uneven throughout the years. During his time with Deep Purple (as well as Trapeze) he gave us some excellent music. After leaving Purple, Hughes buried his feet deep in the mud of funk/soul but in opinion he never got it right. Later albums like "From now on" have had its share of good songs but also a decent amount of fillers. With "Addiction", Hughes were in my opinion too heavy, too slow, too low key. His latest release titled "Songs in the key of rock" follows the direction from Hughes Turner Project (Glenn Hughes & Joe Lynn Turner), and is the best album from him ever. The songs bare connection to earlier rock efforts (for example compare "Gasoline" with "Burn") and Hughes have written songs of high quality. "Songs in the key of rock" is a solid rock album and should please fans of traditional hard rock."
