Justin Hayward

"I think it's our time now to do what we want to do," the Moody Blues singer tells UCR.

Justin Hayward a crucial part to The Moody Blues success has also found success as a solo artist which for him started in 1975.

'A View From The Hill' album was probably as close to the sound of a Moody Blues album without actually being one ( exception: the absence of keyboards).

A perfect title for this album, 'Classic Blue' for all the songs on it are indeed classic and somewhat blue.

The album 'Moving Mountains' was like night and day compared to his previous album, 'Night Flight' Two thumbs up from the fans and the critics.

You could say that the album,'Night Flight' is more of a dance worthy love song dominated album. Unfortunately this album was not well received by the fans.

When one sits and tries to figure out song titles for an album, the title, 'Songwriter' couldn't be more fitting for an artist who's penned many classic rock standards.

The album 'Blue Jays' definitely has the essence of The Moody Blues sound and an album to produce with time as The Moody Blues were on hiatus between 1974 to 1976.

There's not a lot of anything this month that will jump out as 'major', however; with that being said I am going to take you down a journey through the classic rock backwater's and we are going to pan for some rare gems.

If the name Justin Hayward doesn't sound familiar, it should because Justin stands out as the guitarist- vocalist for The Moody Blues going back to 1966.
