Free Music Review: Elton: The once and future Captain Fantastic
Hit: 5 Stars
I won't go on and on reiterating some of the fine points made in the other reviews. Suffice to say that this is arguably Elton's best work in his formidable 40 year career. The Deluxe Edition treatment is outstanding, and the bonus tracks (including "House of Cards," for the first time included with the album with which it was recorded; the song was the b-side of "Someone Saved My Life Tonight," the album's only single, and previously only available on "Rare Masters") all sound amazing and the packaging and liner notes are all top of the line.
Then there's the bonus disc, outstandingl mixed and mastered, featuring much of what would become the "new" Elton John "Rock of the Westies" band (sans Nigel & Dee) performing somewhat different takes on the Captain Fantastic tracks - a unique bit of history easily worthy of inclusion here.
If you're a fan of Elton or just great rock and roll that may have been from the 70s, but has aged well, put this gorgeously done slice of history in your collection and play it over and over again!
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy Poster
Elton John has always liked having it both ways. He's flamboyant and vain, yet empathetic and sincere. He sits at his piano playing sentimental melodies, but the words come not from inside his soul but from friend Bernie Taupin. For Captain Fantastic, he and Taupin wrote a concept album which sketches their career together. "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is easily the strongest song outside of the concept. The addition of several songs "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" featuring John Lennon, "Philadelphia Freedom," and "One Day at a Time" blow the concept but up the entertainment value considerably. --Rob O'ConnorPop Music CDs
