The fruit of a one-off collaboration between ex-Deep Purple
bassist/singer Glenn Hughes and journeyman guitarist Pat Thrall,
Hughes/Thrall is full of the energy of early-'80s rock. With lyrics
like "You got the power/Turn on the light" sung in best Ian Gillan
fashion and buoyed by relentless grooves and Thrall's virtuosic
guitar, this album is an overlooked gem. Thrall's use of the guitar
synthesizer is very interesting. Throughout the album, he combines
the muscle of hard rock with the textures of post-punk and new
wave, as if Andy Summers were sitting around jamming with Eddie Van
Halen. Take, for example, "Beg, Borrow or Steal." The verse is pure
new wave, with its straight-eighth synth chords, but it soon gives
way to the sleazy rock of the chorus. Much of this sound may in
fact trace its origin to Queen and Rush, but listening to
Hughes/Thrall in its historical context places it firmly in the
same territory in which Billy Idol was to have so much success. The
performances by the two leaders are fantastic. Hughes' voice and
bass playing are in fine form, and Thrall exhibits a healthy dose
of Allan Holdsworth in his playing. The mix, handled by none other
than Andy Johns, tends to bury Thrall's guitar a bit, but the drums
and bass sound great for an album from this period. This is
aggressive and vital hard rock, with a healthy dose of texture and
subtlety that prevents it from descending to the depths of
self-parody that so much rock from the late '70s and early '80s was
unable to save itself from. Worth searching out. ~ Daniel Gioffre
