HOLLYWOOD -- Joey Molland, best known for his work with the legendary English band Badfinger, has released his fourth solo album Return To Memphis on UK’s Gonzo Multimedia! The CD features 10 new tracks the singer-songwriter recorded at the world-famous Royal Studios in Memphis.
Signed to the Beatles’ Apple label in the late 1960s, Badfinger went on to score four consecutive worldwide hits from 1970 to 1972: “Come And Get It” (written and produced by Paul McCartney), “No Matter What,” “Day After Day” and “Baby Blue,” which recently became the top downloaded song when it was used in the final scene of the finale of AMC’s Breaking Bad. The song’s resurgence has put Molland, the last surviving member of Badfinger, back in the spotlight.
Other acts have scored success with Badfinger songs over the years. In 1971, Harry Nilsson’s cover of the group’s “Without You” became a number one hit on the Billboard charts.
Molland, now a 66-year-old widower living in Minnesota, has continued to keep the Badfinger flame alight through concerts and recordings over the past 30 years. Return To Memphis, a mix of rock, blues, country and progressive rock, was produced by Carl “Blue” Wise.
Originally from Liverpool, Molland continues to perform with Joey Molland’s Badfinger.
