062: The Moody Blues - Seventh Sojourn (1972)
It’s our third holiday episode, so why not sit comfortably and talk about a third Moody Blues album? By 1972, The Moody Blues had successfully transitioned their sound from the ’60s to the ’70s without losing their ability to generate top-5 charting albums in both the U.S. and the U.K., but they were also on the verge of total burnout that would lead to them taking a six-year hiatus between new studio albums. Seventh Sojourn is the last entry in the band’s core period before they went on break, and it has some of the band’s very best material despite not having any poetry or a single second of Mellotron. Come listen to John, Rich, Amanda, and Phil indulge themselves with an album they know and love from the podcast’s unofficial mascot band, and especially listen for when Amanda confesses to the single hottest take in the history of Moody Blues podcasting.Cohosts: Phil Maddox, Rich Bunnell, John McFerrin, Amanda RodgersComplete show notes: https://discordpod.com/listen/062-the-moody-blues-seventh-sojourn-1972Support the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/discordpod
