Two of the best - There is not much you can really say to sum up what two of the best voices in rock can do when they team together for an album. This is as close to perfect as you can get in rock n roll.
An overlooked gem! - I ve been a HUGE fan of Joe Lynn Turner ever since his Rainbow days. Glenn Hughes was a name I kept hearing but wasn t familiar with his work until I started really getting into Deep Purple in my 20 s. I stumbled on all three HTP CD s here on Amazon and bought them immediately. The combination, alone, sold me. I have to say, the boys did not disappoint. This CD is friggin hot. THE DEVIL S ROAD and BETTER MAN are the major highlights, but the whole thing is great. The vocals do get a bit much at times, but hell, its rock n roll. The guitarist from Loudness guests on a couple of tracks and sounds great. The only downer is that John Sykes only graces one track. If you re a JLT fan like me, you HAVE to get this CD. While you re at it, get them all. You ll be glad you did.
Ride The Storm!!! - I picked this CD up at a shop that I frequently visit, and much to my surprise, I was shocked at what I heard! To be honest, I was expecting a mediocre attempt at making 70 s style rock, like the latest Company of Snakes album! I should have realized that HTP is comprised of two veteran rockers that have been established for years in the music industry. Both Hughes and Turner sound great, and the music is surprisingly heavy at times! If you like Deep Purple/Rainbow style rock n roll, HTP takes it up to an all new level! Buy this CD now! In addition to this, check out the Brazen Abbot projects. Joe Lynn Turner has been involved in all of the Brazen Abbot projects, and they re great as well!
The Best New Rock Disc in Years! - Glenn Hughes has always been a genius, from Deep Purple to Hughes/Thrall. This disc is no exception. This is the first real soulful hard rock music I ve heard in many years. This disc definitely threatens to breath life back into real rock music!! Both Glenn and Joe Lynn Turner are exellent on this disc. They weave seemlessly back and forth on vocals and the effect is great. Aside from great rock, however, there are some great slower moments and also some more funk/soul influenced tunes that are also excellent. I highly recommend this disc!
Awesome - This CD jams. Both JLT and Glenn sound great with Akira Takahashi from Loudness totally shredding like a wildman. A must buy!!!!!
