Free Music Review: They've Still Got It!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Moody Blues have been very successful and much loved for over 40 years and with good reason- they're exceptional at what they do. These talented men were born to sing, play and write great music. This album is proof that as of 1991 they still had "it" in spades. Of the 11 tracks on this offering, there is only one that was a "skipper-over" for me. I will briefly comment on the songs that really touched me, though all but the one were good.
Justin Hayward's semi-autobiographical 'Say it with Love' speaks very eloquently the message of love the Moodies have been preaching for four decades. 'Bless the Wings' is as pretty as anything Hayward has ever penned. This tale of separated lovers really speaks to the heart. 'Is this Heaven' is a catchy, sweet, love song with great harmonies. It sounds like it came from a simpler time- circa 50's or early 60's. I'm really not wanting to end Justin's review on a sour note but his song 'Say What You Mean' is the one track that I could have done without. I'll just simply state that nothing about it resonated with me on any level. But overall Hayward is as good a singer and lyricist as he's ever been.
Ray Thomas just shines with his simply stunning 'Celtic Sonant'. The lyrics and music are just gorgeous. The man's baritone voice is such a pleasure to listen to. His talents and contributions to the MB's are so underappreciated, IMO. We love and miss you Ray and wish you well.
I can always depend on my favorite Moody, John Lodge, to touch me emotionally or to just plain rock me. He does both on this album. His unique, almost ethereal voice is especially good on 'Magic'. The catchy, fast beat shows he can still rock it. In the chorus Lodge sings "baby work your magic on me". He's been doing that to me and countless other Lodgie lovers for decades now. The beautiful 'Lean On Me' is now a concert favorite of John's fans. It is one of my favorite ballads of his. I'm sure he was thinking of his long-time wife wheh he wrote this one. When he sings it live, his face is so animated with love and joy. The orchestration works very well for this song as well. The bittersweet 'Shadows On the Wall' sounds so very comforting somehow to my ears. I love the "airy" quality of his voice on this one. Yes, I'm biased when it comes to John Lodge. I readily and unashamedly admit it- lol!
I highly recommend 'Keys of the Kingdom'. To my heart and ears the Moody Blues are still great. I hope they bless us with many more years of their musical magic. I know this is is corny but I'm gonna say it anyway: I know to all their fans, the Moodies have had the 'Keys' to our hearts for years.
