"Hughes & Turner Project - 2"

It’s done! After the successful “HTP”, “Live In Tokyo” album, the sold out european tour and the phenominal press feedback Glenn Hughes and Joe Lynn Turner have been writing furiously on their follow up album and the songs come out great!

The first HTP release was a milestone in the rockmusic history as both living legends, both ex DEEP PURPLE, both remarkable vocalists, on one album! These two internationally renowned musicians sold more than 15 million albums together

Some press comments:
Heavy, oder was: “ Ain't it funny, though, that the old horses, in this case "The Voice of Rock" Glenn Hughes, and Joe Lynn Turner, have to put their shouldes to the wheel, again, to show us the way ... "HTP" is exactly what we can expect from the masters themselves.“

Metal Heart: „ ... on "HTP", two pros are showing their tricks, and they combine their talent and their experience to create a masterpiece that is a momument to Hardrock. They have excelled themselves to combine all their greatness, as if they've always played together. And still, both keep their own distinct style... the result is sich a harmonious arrangement to make all eleven songs part of a single piece of art ...“

Rock It: „The album offers nothing but killer tracks including the BRAZEN ABBOT-like "Devil's Road" … Intense and rocky stuff which will carry you away - simply close to perfection.”

JOE LYNN TURNER’s first successful band was FANDANGO. Nobody else but RITCHIE BLACKMORE lured him to join RAINBOW. TURNER established himself as one of the very best rock vocalists of the world. He sang on YNGWIE MALMSTEEN‘s million seller „Odyssey“,on DEEP PURPLE‘s „Slaves & Masters“ and besides all that, he sang for BILLY JOEL, CHER, MICHAEL BOLTON, JOHN WAITE. He published four albums of his own on MTM MUSIC and toured with PAT BENATAR, NIGHTRANGER, and LOVERBOY.

HTP is a UNIQUE project, resulting in a UNIQUE album with UNIQUE musicians and with songs more than just highly above average. “II” is another high quality hardrock album and it’s hard to point out some songs but you should check out “Loosing My Head” with STEVE VAI’s guest guitar solo and CHAD SMITH’s (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) drum performance. Another highlights are “Hold On”, “Burning The Sky” and JEFF KOLLMAN’s guest guitar outro solo on this song or the very melodic and deeply moved “Burning The Sky”.

All in all an absolute must for all fans of good and honest down to earth rock music!

The album was produced by Glenn Hughes and Joe Lynn Turner with Jeff Kollman and Mark Rink.
