Again a proof of the diversity of talents within the DEEP PURPLE Family. Roger proofs with this album that he makes timeless music which can be 70,80,90 s or 21th century music. Great to listen to in detail, but also as music to join with others on the background.
How much I hope that good old Roger will help his friend Jon Lord to make the dream come thru to have all lineups of DEEP PURPLE play e.g. an hour together. An introduction may be half an hour of each member with solo work. This album will have great songs, especially It s only Life and Nothing Else for this occasion.
Thanx Rog for making this relaxed top quality album, a pleasure to listen too.

Solo albums are a means for Roger Glover to expose sides of himself that aren’t even glimpsed at within the complex, pounding rock he plays with Deep Purple. He admits that Purple, the band that’s become a “way of life” since he joined up as their bass player in 1969, still holds the key to plenty of musical magic for him. But he’s quick to point out too that he’s “a songwriter first and foremost.” Along with singer Ian Gillan, Glover’s written the lion’s share of Deep Purple’s lyrics, including those to “Smoke On the Water,” one of the hard rock anthems for an entire generation. Snapshot, the new album that he bills to himself and the Guilty Party featuring Randall Bramblett, presents some of the very best songs Glover’s ever written, done his way. And he claims he wasn’t even really looking to do a solo album. “I had a bunch of songs in the basement,” he said jokingly, “that I didn’t know what to do with. It’s my secret life, if you like. I go down in the basement late at night and write songs that have no future.”
