Joey Molland’s first album of new material in nearly 10 years and it contains the singles “Rainy Day Man” and “Better Tomorrow” Produced by Mark Hudson (Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne). The story of Badfinger is arguably rock’s saddest and most tragic tale. But one thing is for certain, the group that practically invented “power pop” was abundantly filled with great talent. Three great songwriters in one band was reminiscent of the group’s original label founders, The Beatles. Perhaps the most unheralded of the three in Badfinger was Liverpudlian guitarist Joey Molland. His songwriting talent started to blossom with the group’s finest album, 1971’s Straight Up. Molland contributed five songs to the group’s fourth platter including “I’d Die Babe”, “Sweet Tuesday Morning” and “Suitcase”. Joey continued to play and write as Badfinger motored through the 70s recording and touring. Great albums (Wish You Were Here) were met with record company and personal mismanagement and in 1975, the group’s leader, Pete Ham, tragically passed away. 

Molland eventually left the group, returned, and left again to start his own solo career Joey has played in various groups and under the name “Joey Molland’s Badfinger” since 1983. He has made several solo albums to critical acclaim but nothing could have prepared us for his latest album. The album is filled with delicious pop hooks and features musical contributions from Joey’s friends (Julian Lennon, Micky Dolenz, Jason Scheff and Steve Holley). With front and back cover photography by Julian Lennon, this album is a veritable feast for the eyes and ears!! So, sit back and “take it all” in from one of the genre’s progenitors…Be True To Yourself by Joey Molland.
