CD Reviews

Rock 'n' roll is not deat
L. B. Ivarsson | Rock City | 11/26/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I never thought that Glenn Hughes and Joe Lynn Turner would follow up the Hughes Turner Project album from last year. But now they have, and I must say that this album, titled "HTP II" is nearly as great as the first one. The majority of the songs are solid rock tunes in mid tempo with a perfect blend of the heavy and the melodic. A lot of the songs have a harder approach during the verses and a softer, more melodic chorus - a touch I think is very appealing! This album holds a lot of references to hard rock from the past; for example "Losing my head" have a "Kashmir-sounding-riff", while "Time and time again" reminds of the Rainbow semi ballads. But don't worry, the songs have a lot of originality to them and there's no rip off's. Rock 'n' roll is certainly not dead, something this album (along with others, like Deep Purple's "Bananas") prove. Highly recommended!"
Hughes and Turner Sound Great

"First know that I'm an old Rainbow/Blackmore/Purple fanatic and felt cheated that Turner only put out three albums with Rainbow. On a chance trip to the record store, stumbled on Turner's latest JLT....give it a 7 out of 10, but good enough to get me looking for more. Then stumbled on the first HTP effort. Again, sounds good, but not great. Yet good enough to drop another $20 on HTP2. This is the most surprising, awesome, modern, jamming CD I've heard in a long time.



The biggest difference between this and the first HTP album is how well Turner and Hughes' voices are integrated in every song. "Going my Way" sounds like a long lost Rainbow track...I even looked to see if it was Blackmore on guitar for that song. If you were a Hughes fan with his early Purple or Gary Moore days, his voice has never sounded better. The songs are very upbeat, melodic, modern and worth listening to over and over. Turner's voice sounds great, a little raspy at times, but very good. "Time and Time again" is a very "Street of Dreams" sounding song. My favorite song is "Hold On", a Rush-riff driven song that Hughes nails the vocals on in the verses and the duo nails the choruses...very Mk III Purple-ish.



If you like Rainbow, Purple, Turner or Hughes.....GET THIS CD"
