5 stars Elton John
Fantastic Album. If you like this, try White Mansions, a compilation featuring Waylon Jennings.

5 stars The Real Rock Of The West(ies)
A neglected classic that seems to have slipped through history's cracked floorboards...despite its multi-platinum status..."Tumbleweed Connection" provides an excellent introduction to Elton John's early music. From the sepia-colored album packaging to the lyrics of nearly all the tracks contained therein, it displays EJ's and Bernie Taupin's fascination with the old west, an era that neither have experienced but have looked back upon with fascination and perhaps a touch of nostalgia. Sometimes writing about an era that one will never feel first hand provides a snapshot of what it would have been like to have observed the late 1800s/early 1900s firsthand; a taste of the path that never could have been traveled. "Tumbleweed" is John's concept piece and definitely stands up to repeated listenings today. One of my personal favorites.

5 stars Wow. Whoda thunk that Elton could've made a concept album?
Yes, this was a left turn in terms of Elton's career at the time, but if you listen to this record and listen to the records after it, you will see that this album colors each and every single album that came during Elton's prime time in the seventies. The unique lyrics; the melodic pop; the big rockers; even the supposed "hickster" sense; it's all here. One could surmise that Elton John simply took the musical formula for "Tumbleweed Connection" and merely applied new concepts and new thoughts to it. But once you listen to this one album of Elton's, you won't want to listen to any other of his albums. It is that good. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

5 stars This One Snuck Up On me
Tumbleweed for years was never one of my favorite EJ albums. When I re birthed on Elton a couple of years ago this cd hit me in the face. How could I have overlooked it! Burn Down The Mission, My Fathers Gun, Country Comfort, Amoreena. Down home easy rock with a country flair. My favorite song on the album is the haunting Where To Now St. Peter, one of Elton's best songs. Outstanding album.

Elton John's second album was his first to be released in the U.S., and the difference between it and its predecessor, EMPTY SKY, is palpable and immediate. ELTON JOHN opens with "Your Song," a halting ballad that is one of the most moving love songs in the modern pop canon. The album also marks John's fruitful association with Gus Dudgeon and arranger Paul Buckmaster (who'd previously collaborated on David Bowie's "Space ...
