About The Moody Blues
Though they got their start as an R&B band during the British Invasion, the Moody Blues are more often equated with psychedelia. Ray Thomas (harmonica, vocals) and Mike Pinder (keyboards, vocals) first found each other in Birmingham, England while playing together in a band. After they recruited Denny Laine (vocals, guitar), Graeme Edge (drums), and Clint Warwick (bass, vocals), the Moody Blues were born.
It was 1964 and they wasted no time getting noticed. Manager Tony Secunda signed on and put together a tour for the band that led to a deal with Decca Records within six months of their formation. The band's first single, "Steal Your Heart Away," came in September, 1964 and didn't do much business.
Their second offering, though, "Go Now," came two months later and topped the UK singles' chart. It also made it to number 10 in the U.S., earning them a slot opening for the Beatles on tour. The subsequent full LP release dropped on both sides of the pond as Magnificent Moodies in England and Go Now in America.
Unfortunately, that would be the end of the road for that incarnation of the Moody Blues. They had nothing to come back with. A new single, "From the Bottom of My Heart," experimented with a more nuanced, soulful sound. Though it has been dubbed one of the most “extraordinary records of the entire British Invasion, with haunting performances all around,” it didn't even crack the top 20 on the UK charts. It fared even worse in the States, barely making the Top 100.
Warwick took his leave in the spring of 1966, followed in short order by Laine. John Lodge took Warwick's place, with Justin Hayward also joining. Together with Pinder, Hayward's songwriting took the group in a different artistic direction toward more folk and pop influences. They toured Europe with their new lightly psychedelic sound.
In an attempt to market its new "Deramic Stereo," Decca Records chose the Moody Blues to record a rock version of Dvorák's New World Symphony. However, with a little convincing, the project's producers were swayed to use original compositions from the band which would represent “an archetypal day's cycle of living represented in rock songs set within an orchestral framework.”
Days of Future Passed blended rock and classical music into a fresh, new sound. Decca was unsure at first, but audiences weren't. The single "Nights in White Satin" catapulted the album up the charts in England and, led by the "Tuesday Afternoon” single, in America, as well.
Drawing from their catalog of psychedelic songs, the Moody Blues followed that success with In Search of the Lost Chord in 1968. The record leaned heavy on the Mellotron to recreated orchestal sounds on a tight budget. Pinder had actually worked in the Mellotron factory and was well-versed in the instrument that became an anchor in their signature sound.
Cuts included "Dr. Livingston I Presume,” "Visions of Paradise," "Om," and "Legend of a Mind." The latter tune invoked Timothy Leary's name in the midst of swirling cellos and flutes. The move immediately endeared the band to Leary's counterculture followers.
In 1969, On the Threshold of a Dream was released and followed a similar formula. The big orchestral sounds from that LP and To Our Children's Children's Children were hard to replicate with five guys on stage, so the group took a step back
Starting with A Question of Balance in 1970, the Moody Blues incorporated a more stripped-down approach, using less overdubbing in the studio. That thread carried through to Every Good Boy Deserves Favour and was successful in concert, as well.
A 1972 resurgence in the popularity of “Nights in White Satin” found the Moody Blues selling back catalog offerings in the tens of thousands. Five solid years of being on the road or in the studio was wearing thin on the band members and their songwriting suffered, as a result. Still, they forged ahead with a new work, Seventh Sojourn.
Positive reviews and sales flooded in. A world tour also ensued. As soon as it ended, though, the band announced a hiatus that would last for five years. During that time, solo and collaborative projects were pursued.
A double-album retrospective, This Is the Moody Blues, was issued during the break and sold very well. A double-album pulled from live archival recordings, Caught Live + 5, also sold briskly.
With enough water under the bridge by 1977, the guys reunited for Octave. Pinder disliked the results and failed to go on tour. Patrick Moraz of Yes filled in. The album, as usual, sold well for the group.
That momentum kept goinig strong with 1981's Long Distance Voyager. Fans loved it; critics didn't. But critics had never been that keen on the Moody Blues who saw them as out of tune as the punk and MTV eras came and went.
Hayward responded with "Your Wildest Dreams" in 1986. The instant classic was on par with “Nights in White Satin" and it took its accompanying album toward the top of the charts. The second single, "I Know You're Out There Somewhere," proved to be another hit, helping to ensure solid concert attendance.
Toward the end of the decade, Moraz had departed, leaving a quartet supplemented by temporary keyboardists and a back-up drummer. Their live performances, staged with orchestras, continued to bring in masses of fans.
In 1994, a four-disc box set, Time Traveller, was released. Their catalog albums still sold well (A reworking of their original seven albums, from Days of Future Passed to Seventh Sojourn, found heaps of success in 1997.), but their new releases floundered.
The all-new Strange Times was issued in 1999, followed by the live (at the Royal Albert Hall) Hall of Fame only a year later. Neither did that well.
Though Ray Thomas officially retired in 2003, leaving the Moody Blues with a core trio of Hayward, Lodge, and Edge, the band continued to tour with supplemental musicians.
