Free Music Notes for Light Years: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra
Free Music Review: The son of Loretta Lynne ...
Hit: 5 Stars
At some point in time, maybe it was on VH1 someone said that Jeff Lynne was the son of Loretta Lynne. When I heard that, I thought that finally everything in the world made sense now. All the nations at war, settled and went home for a late tea and an early bedtime. The planets aligned, my cat was happy and my asthma seemed to lessen, even if just ever so lightly.
Then I found Wikipedia. Sigh ... and I realized that it was all a lie. It was like something right out of the mouth of Adolf Hitler. "The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it." I guess I bought in. It made sense. Loretta Lynn, Country Western musical genius that she is, and wonderful performer to boot, gives birth to a son who is the musical equivalent of a modern Mozart and an earlier version of Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. A man who writes, composes and plays every instrument on the album and sometimes even does the back-up vocals. Could he then be the grand-father of Modern Techno? Something fantastic, perhaps? Something other than great album art, which ironically, is something that he didn't do.
Alas, Loretta Lynn has a few children but none of them are Jeff Lynne. Maybe it was the spelling that finally gave it away. Laughing quietly to myself, now.
Lately, ELO has had a mild resurgence with a few of their songs popping up in mainstream films such as Stranger Than Fiction, Martian Child and a host of television commercials both in the United States for Volkswagen and Marks & Spencer's in England.
The truth is pretty simple regarding ELO. They've always been good and never needed a resurgence or to be re-discovered by a generation of people that will probably go onto make ELO musicals or cover Lynne's songs on American Idol and the like. This compilation of songs is a great place to start for any casual music listener, but go to the actual albums if you're left looking for more. The albums still hold some quality gems.
