From Out Of Nowhere is the new album from Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and music legend Jeff Lynne, and follows up a remarkable run of sold out European and American tours. Jeff Lynne's ELO, whose music has touched fans deeply across three generations now, has found himself in recent years at the peak of his powers as a songwriter, musician and producer. This new collection features a buoyant title song which opens the ten-track record including the wistful "Help Yourself" to the celebratory "Down Came the Rain" to the churning rocker "One More Time" to the sweet closer, "Songbird." As does its predecessor, 2015's Alone in the Universe, From Out Of Nowhere shows Lynne finding new facets to his signature sound, at once drawing on his globally loved legacy and forging new paths in both sounds and emotions. Once again, he plays nearly every note of the music on guitars, bass, piano, drums, keyboards and vibes, as well as singing all of the lead and layered harmony vocals. Steve Jay, who also engineered the album, adds some percussion. This package contains: Single CD in Softpak with sculpted embossed cover w/ the latest evolution of the iconic Jeff Lynne s ELO spaceship, and 16 page Booklet. (Amazon Editorial review)

I just purchased it on iTunes....great song

cool I'm probably in again

God, I love ELO.

Yesterday, Jeff published his own favorite ELO tracks in a Spotify playlist.

I recently found out that,in the summer of 1977,Jeff released a solo disco single called "Doin' That Crazy Thing" it's an extremely rare recording.The song was a flop,but I think it's kinda interesting....very similiar to what the Bee Gees were doing at that time.Did you guys know about this song?!

i always hear how great ELO/Jeff Lynne is....though I don't really see it (not starting an argument with his fans here, so calm down). I grew up in the 70s and 80s when his success peaked but the music never really caiught my attention. So as I approach 50, I would like to give his music a "listen", any suggestions of where to start?

HAve you ever heard the 1981 ELO album Time? A very underrated album.I assume you've heard the earlier ELO stuff from their 70s heyday.

Check out the last album,Alone In The Universe,released a few years ago.
