About

Seventh Sojourn is the eighth album by the Moody Blues, released in 1972. According to bassist John Lodge, "The album was very loosely based on the idea of The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer. This is how Seventh Sojourn evolved: we told stories, but musically." Seventh Sojourn reached No. 5 in the United Kingdom, and became the band's first American chart-topper, spending five weeks at No. 1 there to close out 1972. Two hit singles came from this album: "Isn't Life Strange" (No. 13 UK, No. 29 US) and "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)" (No. 36 UK, No. 12 US), both written by Lodge. However, both songs were overshadowed by the re-release of "Nights in White Satin", which had been first released in 1967. Whereas both singles from Seventh Sojourn made the top 40, "Nights In White Satin" bested both, hitting No. 9 in the UK and No. 2 in the United States and gaining the highest American chart position for a Moody Blues single.
