Demonstrating incredible “legs” into their third decade, we take the long distance trip back through time for the Moody Blues with the tasty Justin Hayward/ John Lodge album Blue Jays, a post- #1 Seventh Sojourn album side project ; Justin Hayward’s sublime “Forever Autumn” from Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds in 1978; the Octave album from the the Moody Blues that year which was the last straw for original keyboard player Mike Pinder; the strong #1 selling comeback in 1981, Long Distance Voyager ; the Top 10 The Other Side of Life in 1986, Sur La Mer from 1988. John Lodge and Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues join me In the Studio for the complete story. –Redbeard
