Pissed Off, Bitter And Willing To Share
I give this CD, my highest rating, Five *****
Craig
Hughes' Debut Album Release, "Pissed Off, Bitter And Willing To Share",
will be compared to and called a lot of things, I would like to call it
Tarantino Blues, because believe me if Quentin Tarantino was a blues
singer, this is the kind of stuff he would be putting out.
With, "Pissed Off, Bitter And Willing To Share", Craig takes the Blues into a new and unique direction, doing so in a way I have not heard before. This is not a reverent album and you will quickly find that out with the opening track, "On A Rooftop With A Rifle And A Scope", and continuing on with the next track, "Everybody's Fault But Mine", in which the opening line is, "Got A Bible In My Hand And I Wish It Was A Beer".
For a Debut Release, "Pissed Off, Bitter And Willing To Share", is an exceptional offering and a new take on the Blues and Blues Rock Genre that will be a refreshing delight to all those fortunate enough to hear it.
Well done Craig... Looking forward to more...

Pissed Off, Bitter And Willing To Share
Treading similar territory to Dave Arcari, fellow Glaswegian Craig Hughes is an alt. blues and roots musician and writer, who mainly just armed with his acoustic slide guitar playing gives us 12 of his own songs – mainly about the dark side of life, but delivered in an stomping, upbeat manner.
“Pissed Off, Bitter And Willing To Share” is his first full-length release, following on from his “Broke, Lonely And Guilty” EP. Co-producer Tommy Duffin gives some cuts a full band sound with his drums and bass, including the rocking and grungy “You Don’t Care At All” – Hughes on electric slide here and his growl of a voice.
“Everybody’s Fault But Mine” borrows, not surprisingly by the title, from the blues standard “Nobody’s Fault But Mine”, with suitable black humour in his lyrics. The haunting tale of lost love, “Three Hundred And Sixty Five” is an album highlight, a pretty song again dominated by his acoustic slide work.
“Dancing On Your Grave” blasts off with a salvo of electric guitar, before reverting to some nice fingerpicked acoustic, giving it a nice folky feel. “Cuban Necktie” – named after a notorious method of gangland execution – has an uptempo Texas Blues feel on this, the album’s only instrumental.
Elsewhere “The TR7s Have All Gone To Heaven” will raise a smile, while “Sighed Smoke Halo” is probably the album’s hardest song to categorise – slightly folky, with a bit of psychedlia thrown in for good measure. “Tell Me, I’m Wonderful” is a full-tilt acoustic slide tune about the things he wants to hear from his lady! The closing “Well Well Well, My My My” rides on another electric guitar riff – think something like Jesus & The Mary Chain meets ZZ Top and you’re there!
Not one for the blues purists, but Craig Hughes angry, dark take on life will appeal to those who have open ears – I found his mix of styles quite appealing, and as previously mentioned definitely in Dave Arcari’s “punk blues” area, and well worth checking out.

Pissed Off, Bitter And Willing To Share
Yesterday I informed you all that I was going to be listening to a couple of recently submitted CD's, Craig Hughes "Pissed Off, Bitter And Willing To Share", Floyd Lee Band "Doctors, Devils & Drugs". Well I must say that I was more than just impressed, those were two damn good CD's. Blues Music the way it was meant to be played, down and dirty, no prisoners taken.

Craig Hughes - Broke, Lonely and Guilty (EP)
Lack of money, being alone and guilty of committing a crime - enough to give anyone the deep blues, and on this seventeen-and-a-half minute EP, that is just what Glasgow, Scotland based alt.blues and roots singer and guitarist Craig purveys. The five songs are generally down-tempo items, and titles such as 'Everybody's Got To Cheat And Lie Sometimes' and 'He Loved Her And She Sent Him To Hell' are indicative of darker sentiments, with world-weary vocals, and a bottleneck guitar style that draws on the greats, such as Son House, Muddy Waters, Blind Willie Johnson, and others (that last-named title is almost jaunty by comparison with the other tracks). Alt.Blues lovers can buy with confidence.

Craig Hughes - Hope It Makes You Happy b/w All the World’s Women
Craig Hughes is from Glasgow which is not exactly the home of the blues but fortunately he doesn't know that. Armed with a guitar and the devil on his shoulder, he growls through "Hope It Makes You Happy". Laconic and twisted - but in a good way - he berates his lady for wanting a song named after her. That's what we need - none of this angst ridden rubbish but a sinking in of the boot just when it is needed. Damn, you can even sing along to it. Class!
On the flipside - if there were a flipside for it to be on - is the melancholy "All The World's Women". A more conventional blues number, Mr Hughes guitar playing seems more assured here than on "Hope It Makes You Happy" and he successfully manages to make this song sound like it had fallen right out of time itself. Works for me!
A record destined to be on vinyl? Hell, yes.

Craig Hughes - Broke, Lonely and Guilty EP
The world is a strange place. You'd think you would find the blues in somewhere like Chicago and not in dear old Glasgow but here we have singer songwriter Craig Hughes and his EP "Broke, Lonely and Guilty" as evidence.
Obviously a blues stalwart, the first song "Everybody's Got to Cheat and Lie Sometimes" starts and finishes with pops and crackles just like an old 78. It's a pretty clear sign that Craig Hughes is going to be handling things with respect (and a not inconsiderable amount of impassioned slide guitar). There's always going to be tears before bedtime with this kind of music and "He Loved Her and She Sent Him to Hell" demonstrates that point and may I tell you that makes a refreshing change from the self pity that normally characterises Glasgow singer songwriters. "Bale of Blood" mixes up redemption and rock to quite memorable effect as well.
The blues ain't nothing but a feeling, or so the saying goes. It's fair to say that Craig Hughes has that feeling and in this self obsessed, antiseptic world that we live in that is very welcome. Turn the lights down, turn the volume up and see if the Devil visits you too.

Ship Sails Away, from Broke, Lonely and Guilty EP
Look up melancholy in the dictionary and be prepared. In a good way. So down it makes me feel glad to be me.

Craig Hughes ... live at The State Bar, Glasgow
Craig Hughes is promoting his new album "Pissed Off, Bitter and Willing to Share". If you're going to sing the blues, then a bit of anger and a slide guitar will come in handy and, indeed, those very things are used by Craig Hughes to drive his songs along. The end result, however, tended more towards the melancholy than the aggressive but was enjoyable nonetheless.

Craig Hughes ... live at The Liquid Ship, Glasgow
Now, finding a good or even great blues guitarist around Glasgow is like finding Moses and the burning bush - it doesn't happen too often - but I think the search is over. Hughes is an impressive guitar player who plays his guitar with impeccable virtuosity. Then, when you add his gruff, bold vocals to the old Scottish twang, he makes for one hell of a performer.

Craig Hughes ... live at The State Bar, Glasgow
Now, Craig Hughes is what you would call an imposing performer. Not the kind of guy whose beer you'd want to spill. Better off seeing him live. Armed with fine wit, anger, and a Takamine, Craig Hughes suppressed all his frustrations and observations into a brilliant 45 minute onslaught. Imagine RL Burnside was deported to Glasgow for his sins. Might well have sounded like Craig Hughes. Brilliant.

Leicester Bangs - (UK) December 2009
A little Q&A with Craig Hughes. On his new record, Pissed Off, Bitter and Willing To Share, he sings, plays guitar, bass and stomps a bit. Tommy Duffin plays drums and some bass, too.
Leicester Bangs: Tell us a little about yourself.
Craig: I play alt. blues and roots music, think of myself primarily as a guitarist but have seen the dreaded 'singer songwriter' tag applied, not entirely inaccurately...
LB: How did you start out making music?
Craig: Started playing guitar at around 12 years old. There was a good scene where I grew up - everything from blues to metal to punk and prog at the same gig, often in the same band. Sometimes in the same song. It was a good atmosphere to learn in.
LB: Who did you grow up listening to and how do they influence what you’re doing now?
Craig: I first showed a real interest in music when I was a wee boy, and I was really into rock 'n' roll and rockabilly. Loved early Elvis (had a copy of The Sun Collection which my dad gave me the day Elvis died) and at the time Bill Haley was my favourite - my folks took me to a Bill Haley show at a rock'n'roll revival show at The Glasgow Apollo when I was 9 years old. That did it. As the years rolled on I went through a lot of fazes, many of which stayed with me, and ended up in an alternative-rock head-space throughout the 90s - Rollins Band, RHCP, Soundgarden and so on. Now I'm playing primarily solo blues, but it's with that attitude, I think. The biggest influences on what I do now are probably Richard Thompson, Loudon Wainwright III, Skip James, Keith Richards and Chuck Berry. And Lemmy.
LB: Tell us about your latest release.
Craig: The latest release is my first album, 'Pissed Off, Bitter and Willing to Share', which kind of picks up where the EP 'Broke, Lonely and Guilty' left off. Where the EP was made up of fairly melancholy slide-heavy blues, and was pretty dark stuff all in, the album is a more aggressive and perversely upbeat affair - although lyrically it still draws from the darker side of life.
LB: Do you get out and play your music live, and if so, what can an audience expect at one of your shows?
Craig: My shows are solo acoustic affairs, but aggressive and full-on - I break a sweat. I play mostly my own material but occasionally throw in covers by anyone from Robert Johnson and Howlin Wolf - which you might expect - through Kris Kristofferson and Jerry Reed to Motorhead - which you might not. I put on some promotions in Glasgow under the banner That Devil Music, which is me performing with one or two other acts - I prefer to promote myself in the city as there are so many rip-off merchants at work in the live scene, particularly at the grass-roots level where everybody's trying to catch a break.
LB: What aspects of playing and recording music do you most enjoy?
Craig: There's a school of thought that has the kind of stuff I do down as some kind of catharsis, which probably isn't far off the mark although I think that's more in the writing stage. Recording can be quite frustrating at times, but there's that great moment when it comes together and you think: cool - that's a proper fucking record, that is!
LB: Where can people find (and buy) your music?
Craig: The album is out now - the CD is currently available from the Channel Nowhere site and my website, where there's all sorts of other fascinating gubbins to catch your eye, and will be available from CD Baby (CD/download) from the end of November 2009. CD Baby is handling digital distribution which takes time to roll out - the EP is already available to download from CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon, Lala etc., so look out for the album to start appearing on those stores over the next few weeks.
