Long Wave with Jeff Lynne

Not until now Lynne's second solo album ever is made. ELO was not only about Beatles, and Long Wave is less about Beatles, rather before. As always lingered in his air but never bloomed completely, Lynne now covers 1950's songs in his very own way. New wave may have been catchier, but seldom something feels as lovely as this old wave.
