The Moody Blues are my favorite band(I've seen them 25 1/2 times...or more). Graeme Edge is their drummer/poet. Therefore, this is not an unbiased review. :)

I picked up a copy of “The Written Works of Graeme Edge” at a merch booth following a Moody Blues concert years ago, and I remember reading it more as a lyrics booklet to accompany the albums than an independent text. When Edge passed away in November, I took it off the shelf, and today I finally found time to read it more thoroughly in one sitting. It certainly stands on its own. As the Moody Blues were masters of the concept album, I enjoyed reading this as a book that tracks the story of Edge’s personal lyrical and creative journey as both a member of that aforementioned band and the frontman of his Graeme Edge Band in the 1970s. Probably my favorite threads are his metaphysical wonderings and cosmic wanderings through “The Day Begins (Morning Glory)”/“The Dream,” “Higher and Higher,” and “Lost in Space.” I had also forgotten what a concise and cutting takedown “In the Beginning” was. Rest In Peace to a man who used his 22,000+ days well and left us a legacy of both poems and songs.
