Jeff Lynne's New Music Has Arrived

Jeff Lynne from ELO talking about his new album officially out today. While Alone in the Universe is billed as Jeff Lynne's ELO, it is a complete solo effort with Lynne not only writing all the songs, but also playing every instrument with the exception of the shaker and tambourine, which was handled by his engineer, Steve Jay. Lynne says, "I just wrote 10 [songs] and they're all short... I tried to make it like a unified sound. I wanted it all to sound pretty much the same." He will celebrate the album's release with shows in New York next Friday, and Los Angeles on November 24th -- and will then hit the road next year with shows in Europe in April and May.
