Hughes/Thrall

Hughes/Thrall was a collaborative project featuring vocalist and bassist Glenn Hughes and guitarist Pat Thrall. The duo released a single, self-titled album in 1982, which blended melodic hard rock with innovative guitar synthesizer textures, all underpinned by Hughes' signature powerful vocal delivery. This album is often regarded as a highlight of Glenn Hughes' post-Deep Purple and Trapeze career.

The project began in late 1981, leading to months of intensive rehearsals, songwriting, and practice in Los Angeles. The resulting eponymous album was recorded with renowned producer Andy Johns, known for his work with Led Zeppelin and Free. The sessions also featured keyboardist Peter Schless and a roster of drummers, including Gary Ferguson, Gary Mallaber, and Frankie Banali.
