The band currently consists of Tracii Guns (lead guitar), Phil Lewis (lead vocals), Ace Von Johnson on (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Johnny Martin (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Scot Coogan (drums).

'Caught In The Light' is a very keyboard based album, giving the music a light, airy and dare I say 'cosmic' feel to the entire affair much like the Rodney Matthews art that graces the cover. In keeping with the BJH tradition you will not find songs about sex, fast cars and faster women, but more themes based on relationships as on 'The Great Unknown' and 'Silver Wings' to current events important at the time the album was recorded with 'Cold War' to history with 'Copii Romania' and 'Forever Yesterday'. Musical references can be drawn to Alan Parsons Project, Keats and late period Al Stewart, but really Barclay James Harvest had a sound all their own creating sound pictures for the mind and food for the soul.
If you are a fan of Barclay James Harvest, or are an uninitiated soul looking for a good introduction to one of the worlds most underrated bands, then look no further than "Caught In the Light"! This is a brilliant album from start to finish…
