Obscura banda vinda da Áustria, formada em meados dos anos 70 pelos irmãos Harry e Dieter Stuempfl . Informações sobre o quinteto Glashaus são escassas, eles provavelmente se estabeleceram em Munique, lá gravando seu único e raro álbum em 1977. Sem sucesso a banda se desfez e alguns de seus membros formaram o grupo Email anos depois.
Drinking Man é um álbum curto, dividido em 10 faixas. Ouvimos aqui mescla tradicional de hard, boogie e country rock do final da década, simples e direto, com destaque para as bons solos e riffs das guitarras, acompanhada por bons momentos de órgão, gaita e bateria. As letras são todas em inglês e com constantes coros. Destaque para "Drinking Man", "The Waiting Game" e "Vertigo".
Apesar de um pouco comercial e nada extraordinário, merece atenção de fãs de boogie e country rock.

A groovy upbeat rock album from Austria, sung in English. Not progressive, with some cuts verging on hard rock, there is some good organ work. The opener Shine On Medas is Status Quo-like boogie, and there is a southern/boogie feel to most other tracks. The Waiting Game and Vertigo are my heavy picks.
Nothing extraordinary, but notable as a rare example of it's kind to come from Austria at the time, a country which seems to have missed out entirely on hard rock and heavy metal in the '70s, but did have a decent punk/new wave scene at the tail-end.

... good old days in the Musicland Studio. Last month Freddy Mercury in the studio kitchen, Donna Summer asks about Georgo Moroder and Keith Richards of the Stones smokes good stuff with us. With us little dummies ... but true! Lupo and I then played the song "Waiting Game" with Keith Forcey on the drums. At the mixer: Mack. Later we, Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore went to the music shop in Schwabing to see Helmut Gaffal. Mick Jagger with crew and me, little idiot, went to the "Shuger Shake" months later. Charly = barmaid was happy. As a studio musician I recorded various well-known Georgo productions with Jon Lord's Hammond, provided with 8 Leslies, and with my blues harps. Later I had the GLASHAUS studio together with Lupo. Everything cool, but old cheese from yesterday! Today I'm just looking ahead ...
