Jeff Lynne is an amazing writer and producer. He did this album around the time he was working with the Traveling Wilburys as well as producing albums for Tom Petty and George Harrison (who plays lead guitar on most of the songs on this album). There’s a little bit for everyone on this album. I haven’t stopped playing this since I received it about one month ago. You don’t have to be a fan of the Electric Light Orchestra to Love this album but if you are you will definitely appreciate this uplifting masterpiece. Cheers Mr. Lynne

Jeff Lynne is a master of a certain sound and this album showcases it. Some of the songs are reminiscent of ELO to me (Don't Say Goodbye, Every Little Thing, Save Me Now) but mixed with widely differing sounds. Nobody Home is great - has somewhat of an r & b feeling to it. Don't Let Go has a little r&b and maybe a Buddy Holly type tempo. Now Your Gone has piano rifts and Hindu-esque laces like those used in some of the later Beatles music that was almost certainly George Harrison's influence - makes for a beautiful and mournful tune. Then he takes classics like Stormy Weather and September Song and brings them up from the earlier part of this century and makes them young and fresh with his distinctive sound. Absolutely fantastic - a genuine genuis. All of the songs are good. If you like ELO, this is even better. If you like George Harrison's solo work, you'll probably love this. Overall, it has kind of a synthetic bluesy, jazzy pop tempo kind of sound. Lyrics are fantastic.Read full review
