Led by the Christmas-adjacent close-to-title track single, five-track EP Love Conquers All from 81-year-old Moody Blues bassist/singer John Lodge is a relaxing analogue act of limbering up as he recovers from a stroke and prepares for his onstage return.
With guests including Yes singer Jon Davison (Lodge’s son-in-law), Geoff Downes and guitarist Dave Colquhoun, it’s not trying to do anything remotely modern, but is comfortable in its mastery of a classic style of light, ultimately hopeful, melancholy.
