I just saw this on the TV station Keep It Country. It clearly doesn't keep it all country as on Sunday nights there seems to be a 70s memory lane type show (more like memory alley) and this was on it. Although I think this guy is more like Roy than Jeff, in fact my mum even asked if he was supposed to be impersonating him!

Wow, perfect Eurovision song. I think even Roy would draw the line at that daft neclace he's wearing though.

this song with a familiar title came up on YouTube - put out way before Zoom from 1983 - it sounds like they were aiming for a Clash "London Calling" sort of sound rather than ELO

Parthenon Huxley from ELO II and The Orchestra gives one of the songs on his latest album some ELOish production values. Kind of the exception as it's the only one of the 11 songs that sounds this way. but what I really like about this one is that the lyrics describe the songwriting process (does make me wonder if a little microdosing is involved) end result is a song packed full of ELO sounds and secret messages - a real treat
Off We Go
The sidewalk drums beneath my feet it sends a message to me: pay attention to the beat The trees appear to move in time A melody begins ... I am hopeful that it's mine
the words begin to fall in line they start to sing themselves happens to me all the time it's in the air from who knows where
there is no sound, I write it down and OFF we GO ... (begin ELO like violin flourishes)

When you're not paying attention and Now 70s is playing on tv this video can easily look like an ELO from an alternative universe -

horrible backstory to that song... he wrote it poking fun at his brother's stutter.
