Moving away from the darker tones of Addiction, this album embraces funk-infused hard rock with a lighter, more soulful touch. JJ Marsh co-writes and plays guitar throughout, while Gary Ferguson and Marc Bonilla contribute rhythmic and harmonic depth. Guest appearances by Stevie Salas and Matt Sorum inject additional flair into two standout tracks. Hughes' bass playing is fluid and expressive, complementing his soaring vocals with rhythmic finesse. The album balances introspection with swagger, offering both emotional ballads and upbeat rockers. A cover of Jimi Hendrix's \"Freedom\" adds a nod to Hughes' psychedelic influences. The songwriting is personal yet universal, reflecting resilience and creative renewal. The Way It Is stands as a confident, genre-blending release that showcases Hughes' versatility. Ideal for fans of rock with soul, funk, and lyrical depth. A vibrant chapter in the evolution of a true rock icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e    Tracks\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    Credits\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e    1 The Way It Is (The Way It Is)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    2 You Kill Me (The Way It Is)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    3 Neverafter (The Way It Is)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    4 Rain on Me (The Way It Is)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    5 Curse (The Way It Is)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    6 Freedom (The Way It Is)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    7 The Truth Will Set Me Free (The Way It Is)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    8 Stoned in the Temple (The Way It Is)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    9 Too Far Gone (The Way It Is)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    10 Second Son (The Way It Is)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    11 Take You Down (The Way It Is)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    12 Don't Look Away (The Way It Is)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    13 Freedom (\"Shagmeister Mix\") (The Way It Is)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 05\/22\/2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"- ROCK *NEW*","offer_id":49263161213170,"sku":"525FG7-PHJ3-00","price":39.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/rock-new_Herzq.jpg?v=1779740416","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/glenn-hughes-presale-5-22-26-the-way-it-is-vinyl-mint-m-mint-m","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
