There's also a nice review in the german Rock Hard magazine:

It is well known that THE DEAD DAISIES see themselves more as an artist collective than as a "traditional" band - and yet "Holy Ground" is a particularly interesting release in that with John Corabi (v.) and Marco Mendoza (b.) two people have left the band after the last Daisies longplayer, who have decisively shaped the band structure over a longer period of time. Glenn Hughes (ex-Deep-Purple/Black-Sabbath, Black Country Communion) was already introduced as their successor last summer in the course of an EP release, which is a clever move in that you can kill two birds with one stone. Those who feared that the line-up change would bring major changes in the musical field can breathe a sigh of relief: THE DEAD DAISIES basically sound exactly the same (apart from Hughes' considerably brighter voice). The guys play slightly snotty Classic Rock; exactly the right music for relaxed Sunday afternoons or longer car rides over sunny country roads. The closing long track 'Far Away' comes around the corner with a nice Purple touch, which may not least be due to Hughes' past; the album version of the Humble Pie classic '30 Days In The Hole' is a bit more snappy than the one on last year's EP. What more could you want?

There is also a nice interview in the German eclipsed Magazine...

Clearly Dream Runner - still have this album copied onto a cassette tape... 1987, ya know?? There's not a single weak track on this album! And only amazing singers.... Glenn... Wetton... Max Bacon... Ray Gillen... absolut phenomena(l). First phenomena is also very good. But: Everything released in this century doesn't come near the first three at all...

Great list! I would just add John Wetton...

This was my first GH album... and believe it or not: The first version of "Burn" I ever heard was this one. I still love until this day!

Here's an Interview I did with Glenn for the second album... in German. Enjoy...
