Formed in 1964 and still going strong in 2019, the Moody Blues are one of the most enduring bands in the history of rock. R&B, pop, psychedelic, symphonic, prog rock, folk rock, synth-pop, mainstream rock, they've experienced it all. 'Go Now', A number one single in 1965 was very nearly a postscript for the band had it not been for the pioneering 1967 album Days Of Future Passed. This set in motion a run of seven classic and hugely popular albums that put them at the forefront of symphonic rock in the early 1970s. A hiatus saw a flurry of solo projects before the band reconvened in 1977. Subsequent recordings were eagerly greeted by a loyal fan base and sell out concerts continue to this day. In 2018 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
This book examines each one of the band's studio albums and related recordings as well as tracing the band's long and diverse history. Solo projects and live recordings are also discussed making this the most comprehensive guide to the music of the Moody Blues yet published. Whether you are a loyal fan or someone who is curious to see what lies beyond `Nights in White Satin', this is essential reading.
Geoffrey Feakes is a music journalist and The Moody Blues on track is his first book. He has been a writer for the Dutch Progressive Rock Page since 2005 with hundreds of reviews and several interviews to his credit. In 2017, his seven part `Symphony to Synths' which explores the relationship between progressive rock and classical music was published online. His first Moody Blues concert was at the De Montfort Hall, Leicester in February 1972. He lives in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
