The Moody Blues- Evening-The Sunset/Twilight Time (honoring the gloam)



Moody Blues- The Sunset/ Twilight Time. The red headed stepchild songs of this masterpiece. You all know the other songs (Nights and Tuesday AN) but when was the last time you heard this set. Love Twilight Time for the vocals. In the comments someone mentioned that Justin Hayward was 15 YO on this album. Not bad for 1967. BTW, check out the video for this song. The YouTuber did a great job syncing images with these songs.

only 15 when the album was recorded. He turned 21 while they were recording it in 1967.

He was playing in local bands by the time he was 15, and maybe the fan had heard about that and believed he joined the Moodies then.

I will be careful to make sure more of the info is correct. That was just laziness on my part. Between you, HPD, and the good ProfessorGAC I am going to have to pick up my game a bit (heh,heh). You both seem to have pretty good musical chops.

doublecheck info found on YouTube against other sources. Sometimes it's right and very helpful, but other times it can be way off.

And as I said, whoever posted that Justin was only 15 had probably just confused the age when he started working as a musician with his age when he joined the Moodies.
