John Lodge
B Yond - The Very Best Of
Review by Gary Hill
This is unusual as "best of" sets go. For one thing, many of the tracks are not John Lodge solo numbers, but rather numbers he wrote for and recorded with The Moody Blues. Of course, they are his songs, so that's a perfectly legitimate concept. A number of the pieces are live recordings of his tunes. Others are remixes. There is one brand new song. All in all, this set works quite well. I should mention that I previously reviewed two of these songs on another of his albums. For the sake of consistency, those two track reviews are adapted from that review for use here.
