About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The most romantic album to come out of the Moody Blues' orbit, and the biggest success of their five-year hiatus. Hayward has the more distinctive body of songs, but their strength as a unit lies in their vocal pairing, which is as strong here as it ever was with the group. The pair play the guitars and basses, backed by a group that includes members of the Threshold-signed band Providence. Hayward wrote or co-wrote seven of the original album's ten songs, and most of it is fairly impressive as soft romantic rock, although "Nights Winters Years" is a little bit too melodramatic. Lodge has one of the better rockers to come out of the group's orbit, however, in "Saved By the Music," which is also a surprisingly spiritual song. The production by Tony Clarke echoes the best Moody Blues sound. The bonus track, "Blue Guitar," is an added attraction to the CD. Bruce Eder, All Music Guide

November 01, 2006: This album (now CD) was made in 1975 with Justin Hayward and John Lodge after the first break-up of the Moody Blues. That said, much of the album sounds as good as any other album they have done. The rich sound and quality lyrics are still there. If you enjoy the Moody Blues, this little known CD is worth the purchase.

June 16, 2002: This album from Justin & John, released during the Moodies temporary break-up from 1974 to 1977 has been my all-time favorite Moodies album. Since it came out in 1975, I have not been able to put it down. The opening track ''This Morning'' immediately grabs the listener from the start into a beautiful journey thru tight luscious harmonies, emotionally riveting string arrangements, well-crafted lyrics, and of course, Justin and John's recognizable guitar work. The minor hit single '' I Dreamed Last Night'' reunites Justin & John with Peter Knight and his orchestra, bringing back wonderful memories of listening to ''Days of Future Passed'', and the song soars with brilliance and beauty. I have been a solid Moodies fan since ''Tuesday Afternoon'' was a hit single in 1968, but if I were to be stranded on a deserted island, and only had one album to choose for my CD player, Justin and John's ''Blue Jays'' would have to be my pick....hands down. It's a definite ''must have'' for any devoted Moody Blues fan!
