With the workload Glen Hughes has put on himself over the last few years it’s a wonder he has any sort of life outside the recording studio. Voodoo Hill is just another project, but what you first notice is the heavier sounding Hughes, something that his diehard fans might not like.

‘Wild Seeds Of Mother Earth’ is the second album to bare the Voodoo Hill moniker and once again sees the multitalented Dario Mollo joining forces with Hughes, the album itself gets of to a cracking start with ‘Make Believe’ that has classic Hughes written all over it powerful vocals and a belting chorus and excellent guitar riffs.

But things take on a change in style with ‘Dying To Live’, a much heavier track that is still a good track but not what fans of Hughes will be used too with a sound that is more Metallica than Deep Purple but still a halve decent track all the same. 'Still Evergreen' continues in the same vein with thunderous bass lines and fast guitar riffs with Roberto Gualdi trashing out a great beat on the drums that give the track great depth.

'Atmosphere' doesn’t do Hughes vocal talent justice lyrically a pure track but its saving grace is Dario Mallo's excellent guitar work that is some of the best on the album. The title track 'Wild Seed of Mother Earth' slows things done a bit with a sound very reminiscent of Living Color/Roachford. Once again Mollo saves the track with some excellent work.

'My Eyes Don’t See It' and 'Cant Stop Falling' lift the tempo a little with Hughes giving his all on both tracks. Dario Mollo gives his all on 'Nothing Stays the Same' with some monster riffs. Hughes gives his finest performance on 'Soul Protector' with the varying rhythm changes is one of the best uses of his vocal talent on the album.

The final two tracks on the album finish the album the way it started with a musical style that is comfortable for Hughes’s style of vocals, ’She Cast No Shadow’ being the mellower of the two tracks and ’16 Guns’ the more guitar oriented track with Mollo at his best.

All in all ‘Wild Seeds Of Mother Earth is a very good album if you are not familiar with any of Hughes and Mollo’s other projects, but I think not for diehard fans as the diversity might be a bit too much for them.
