Album Description

Featuring <P>Glenn Hughes (lead vocals)*<BR> (Deep Purple / Black Sabbath)<BR> Tim Pierce (guitars)<BR> (Toy Matinee, Roger Waters, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Bon Jovi, Goo Goo Dolls)<BR> Ian Crichton (guitars)<BR> (Saga)<BR> Carl Kennedy (drums / percussion / keyboards)<BR> (The Greg Lake band) <P>Drummer Carl Kennedy (Greg Lake band) is a pioneer in digital recording. Carl was often asked by many engineers and producers for his expertise in the recording studio and eventually earned the moniker "The Alchemist". In 1994 Carl decided to record a new album with one of his favorite vocalist Glenn Hughes, unfortunately the album was never released……… until now. <P>"Songs from the Westside" is a collection of well-crafted songs that blend intricate tribal rhythms with guitar driven passion. Powerful and dynamic with just a hint of blue eyed soul. Comparisons from Traffic to ELP to Marillion to King Crimson come to mind.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Give credit where it's due!!!.......2003-01-09

1st off the CD is great. I can't think of a single song that sucked. But... Aside from some VERY fine print that says v-gh Glenn Hughes is given no credit! For that matter none of the above mentioned musician are. The liner notes credit Carl Kennedy aka The Alchemist with writing, PLAYING EVERYTHING, recording, producing & mastering on the whole CD. (with exception to 1 song written by R. Welch.
According to Glenn's own website he was never even PAID for the session. Again none of the musicians listed about even got a mention in the "special thanks" section of the notes
I bought it because I'm a great Hughes fan and his performance as always was flawless. I couldn't bring myself to boycott on principle.
A great CD but seems like the performers got screwed!!!
