Our Take

Barclay James Harvest's "Time Honoured Ghosts" is a delightful trip down memory lane, a psychedelic journey through the bell-bottomed corridors of 70s prog rock. This expanded edition gives fans even more to sink their teeth into, with bonus tracks that showcase the band's versatility and creativity.

The album kicks off with the hauntingly beautiful "In My Life," a track that sets the tone for the ethereal experience that follows. John Lees' poetic lyrics and melodic guitar work shine throughout, perfectly complemented by Woolly Wolstenholme's lush keyboard arrangements.

Tracks like "Sweet Jesus" and "Beyond the Grave" show off the band's knack for crafting epic, sprawling compositions that never lose sight of their emotional core. The harmonies on songs like "Jonathan" and "May Day" are truly mesmerising, transporting listeners to another time and place.

But it's not all ethereal nostalgia - Barclay James Harvest injects plenty of energy and enthusiasm into songs like "Alone in the Night" and "Titles," keeping the album feeling fresh and exciting from start to finish. This expanded edition is a must-have for fans of the band, and a perfect introduction for newcomers looking to explore the world of 70s prog rock.

In conclusion, "Time Honoured Ghosts" is a timeless gem that showcases Barclay James Harvest at the height of their powers. With its expanded tracklist and exquisite production, this album is a must-listen for anyone with a love for classic rock and a penchant for the quirky and unexpected. Grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and let "Time Honoured Ghosts" sweep you away on a magical musical journey.

About the artist

Barclay James Harvest

Barclay James Harvest are the epitome of 70s progressive rock. Hailing from Oldham, these lads captured the hearts of audiences with their lush orchestration and introspective lyrics. But don't let their serious image fool you - these lads know how to have a laugh, as evidenced by their cheeky onstage banter and penchant for wild backstage parties. Formed in 1966, BJH (as they're affectionately known by fans) have weathered numerous lineup changes and musical trends, yet have remained a constant presence on the rock scene. Their blend of melodic hooks, intricate arrangements, and soaring vocal harmonies set them apart from their contemporaries, earning them a loyal fanbase and critical acclaim. With classic albums like "Everyone Is Everybody Else" and "Octoberon", Barclay James Harvest have solidified their status as legends in the prog rock world. Tracks like "Mockingbird" and "Hymn" showcase their ability to move effortlessly between rock anthems and tender ballads, leaving audiences in awe of their musical prowess. Even after more than five decades in the industry, Barclay James Harvest continue to tour and record new music, proving that age is just a number when it comes to rocking out. So grab your nearest pair of bell-bottoms, turn up the volume, and let Barclay James Harvest take you on a journey through the heyday of prog rock. These lads are the real deal, and their music is a testament to their enduring talent and passion for the art form. Cheers to Barclay James Harvest - long may they reign as the kings of progressive rock!
