Glenn Hughes - Why Dont You Stay

Review by Casey Castille

Album Review: Why Don’t You Stay by Glenn Hughes (1994) Alright, so let’s talk about Why Don’t You Stay, Glenn Hughes’ hard rock gem from ‘94. Released under Roadrunner Records and Empire Records in the Netherlands and Sweden, this album is one of those hidden treasures that just hits different when you stumble upon it. It’s raw, gritty, and unapologetically rock ‘n roll—basically what you’d expect from a guy who’s been shredding since his Deep Purple days. First off, the title track, Why Don’t You Stay. Man, this song sticks with you. It’s got that punchy guitar riff right outta the gate, and Glenn’s voice? Pure velvet thunder. He’s belting out these lyrics about holding on to someone, but it’s not your typical lovey-dovey stuff—it feels real, like he’s lived every word of it. The groove is tight, the drums are pounding, and there’s this moment halfway through where everything just builds up before exploding into this killer solo. Honestly, I’ve had this track stuck in my head for days after hearing it. Then there’s Lay My Body Down. This one hits ya right in the feels. It’s slower, moodier, and packed with emotion. Glenn’s vocals here feel almost haunting, like he’s pouring his soul into every note. The basslines are deep and heavy, giving it this brooding vibe that pulls you in. What makes this track stand out is how simple yet powerful it is—no over-the-top production or flashy tricks, just good ol’ hard rock done right. If you’re into songs that make you wanna sit back with a drink and think about life for a bit, this one’s for you. Now, I gotta say, listening to this album feels like stepping back in time to an era when rock was all about grit and passion. It’s not perfect, sure—some might find it a tad rough around the edges—but that’s kinda the charm, isn’t it? Plus, knowing it came out in the mid-’90s, when grunge was hogging all the spotlight, makes me appreciate it even more. Like, here’s Glenn Hughes doing his thing, sticking to his roots while everyone else was chasing trends. Here’s the random thought that hit me though: if this album were a person, it’d probably be that cool older cousin who shows up at family gatherings wearing leather and telling wild stories. You don’t see ‘em often, but when you do, they leave a mark. So yeah, give Why Don’t You Stay a spin if you’re craving some legit hard rock vibes. Just don’t blame me if you end up blasting it way too loud and annoying your neighbors.
