L.A. BLUES AUTHORITY Vol II – Glenn Hughes Blues (1993) *HQ*

320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2

Of the five L.A. BLUES AUTHORITY albums released, Volume II stands out as the most special. Following a September 1992 invitation from Mike Varney and Ken Ciancimino to create a blues album—prompted by fan requests—the voice of rock Glenn Hughes decided to document personal life changes through music.
Recorded in early October with close friends and released as part of the L.A. BLUES AUTHORITY series – Volume II Glenn Hughes Blues is dedicated to fans worldwide and marks the start of new material, signed “It’s good to be back, one day at a time”.
Indeed, some of these songs were written by Hughes years before, others for this LP. The whole thing was recorded & mixed in the first two weeks of October, and fortunately was just the first of many new Glenn Hughes albums to come.
The guys playing? Europe’s John Norum, Mick Mars of Mötley Crüe, Warren DeMartini of Ratt, Richie Kotzen of Poison & Mr. Big, Mark Kendall of Great White fame, Tony Franklin on bass alongside Hughes, capable Mark Jordan on keyboards, and more.
