About this album

Blue Jays is a finely polished 1975 collaboration from two key Moody Blues songwriters, Justin Hayward and John Lodge. Made while the band was on a break, the album let both artists explore a more direct, personal kind of classic rock without losing the melodic sophistication that defined their best work. Its songs balance reflective lyric writing, strong vocal harmonies and carefully arranged acoustic and electric textures, with highlights such as Remember Me, My Friend showing how effectively the pair could stand apart from their parent group while still sounding unmistakably connected to it. The result is one of the more rewarding side projects of the era.
