VH1 CLASSIC TO AIR STARTING OCTOBER 10
Jeff Lynne, accomplished singer/songwriter/producer, has enjoyed a rich, storied and successful career in the music industry as a performer and the main creative force with the wildly successfulElectric Light Orchestra; as a member of the legendary Traveling Wilburys (along with George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty), as well as producer of Billboard Chart topping albums by Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, George Harrison, The Beatles and others!
Now here in 2012, Lynne returns in a big way to make waves all over again with "Long Wave" and "Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra" (in stores Oct.9th).
Mr. Blue Sky-The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra is a powerful new testament to Jeff Lynne's enduring artistry and his singular desire to get things right once and for all. Here Lynne uses his most powerful instrument, the recording studio, to bring to life an exquisite body of work that continues to speak to music lovers everywhere. A showcase for ELO's greatest hits, featuring brand new versions of the classic songs, "Mr. Blue Sky-The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra" is, in effect, a kind of showdown between Jeff Lynne today and his extremely illustrious past, and thanks to improved technology and recording artistry, wouldn't you know Lynne somehow comes out on top again. So too do all of us who get another fresh chance to hear these extraordinary songs sounding quite literally better than they ever have before.
"Long Wave", Jeff Lynne's timeless new album, is a stirring, heartfelt and vivid tribute to some of the very songs that first taught this legendary singer-songwriter the awesome power of music in our lives. The radiant songs revisited here helped turn on an electric light in young Jeff Lynne that continues to burn as brightly today as ever. Jeff Lynne somehow makes these pre-rock standards -- along with a few of his favorite gems from the sixties -- his own with these loving versions. The result is an inspired love letter to music itself -- and an exquisite reflection of the way songs grace and change our lives.
