I have been a big fan of Glenn's for many years, and for me the last few albums have been to funky and incomplete. This album shows Glenns Brilliant Vocal and song writing ability. My picks are The Boy Is Chasing The Blues, I'm Your Man and So Much Love To Give. For those of you that are a bit tired of Glenn's last few albums this will knok your socks off!
The album was produced under the moniker of the L.A. Blues Authority, a blues project that featured many musicians playing original blues tracks and covers. This is the only album under that name which featured only original material performed by one singer.
This was Hughes’ first solo album to be released after he kicked his drug habits in 1991 and found his ‘higher power’. He hadn’t released an album under his own name since 1977’s Play Me Out. This marked a beginning of a highly productive period in Hughes’ life that still continues.
The album was recorded in three weeks and Hughes’ claims the themes in the record deal with his personal demons of the time.
Guest guitarists include former Europe player John Norum (who had produced the album Face The Truth which featured Hughes on a number of tracks earlier in 1992), Mick Mars of Motley Crue, Warren DeMartini of Ratt and Richie Kotzen of Poison , Mr. Big and Mark Kendall of Great White fame.
