Free Music Notes for Peachtree Road
Free Music Review: Elton keeps on giving us classics!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I really love this album, I think its better than SFTWC. This one is a more
catchier and warmer album than the last one. Its also a rich and organic
sound, with some of the best vocals Elton has done in a long time. I love
the fact that Elton has produced it and that the band is featured on every
song. The gospel touch on the songs gives them a real soulful and southern
feel.
Individual Song Reviews
Weight of the World- I just love this song, its one of the best openers
Elton has done in years. And the lyrics are just classic Bernie, and the
Piano and voice on this one make it clear you are in for a treat. A
Porch Swing in Tupelo- Incredible song with a classic Tumbleweed like intro,
then the song picks up with some great vocals by EJ and the Choir. Also has
a great southern feel, and easily one of the best things EJ has ever done A+
Answer in the Sky- The single and I've liked this one from the beginning
with the cool Philadelphia Freedom like intro. The lyrics are a nice
positive uplifting message, and I really love the line, "All Life is
Precious and Everyday is a prize". The choir is a nice touch here. It was a
good choice for the first single B+
Turn Out the Lights Out When You Leave- You can tell from the intro that
this one has a country feel, its not a bad song, but its too country for me,
and as a result its just a fair Elton song. The lyrics are good for this
one, but its a song that has yet to impress me. One plus is the return of
John Jourgenson on this one. C+
My Elusive Drug- This one i love instantly with its Sugar on the Floor like
beginning. Then the band picks up and this is one of the most powerful
tracks in a long time. The vocals on this one are just out of the world. And
the biographical lyrics obviously mean something here. Great backing vocals
on this one too. Also nice guitar solo from Davey. And the vocal ending is a
wow. Another classic for sure. A+
They Call Her the Cat- This one is one of the most upbeat and lively tracks
ive heard in a long time in a studio album. The Chicago Horns section adds a
lot on this one. The lyrics are classic Taupin with a sexual edge. And love
the interplay with Elton and the choir, its going to be a fun one to hear
live. I just love this one even with the "Meows" at the end A-
Freaks In Love- I heard this one live at Radio City and it didnt grab me,
and this one still is weak. The intro reminds me of True the 80s hit by
Spandau Ballet. I dont like how the strings and the choir are used on this
song, and the vocal by Elton isnt as good as others here on the album
"Unieon" phrasing is the example for that. The guitar solo by Davey is
probably the best thing about it. Its not bad but come on Elton you could
have done better than this song. C
All That I'm Allowed- The International single, and this one is another
catchy tune, which does sound like something that a boyband would sing, but
the powerful and resonant vocal by Elton gives this song an edge. And the
backing vocals are cool and give it a nice Beach Boy feel, and sound is
almost too poppy, but its still a great song and it wouldnt be a bad choice
for second single B+
I Stop and I Breathe- A great piano intro on this song with a clear feel of
Leonard Cohen and Leon Russell, especially with the vocals. The song reminds
me a bit of Don't Let the Sun and Someone Saved My Life Tonight. Classic
ballad from Elton with great singing by EJ here. The instrumental break is a
great rising one sorta like I've Seen that Movie Too A
Too Many Tears- A really different intro sorta like Where to Now St Peter.
The lyrics mentioning Dallas/JFK and Memphis and MLK are cool. The song
features some really nice backing vocals, and the the banjo in the breaks
gives the song some nice contrast. I do see how this is Elton's take on
music by bands like Coldplay. A
Its Getting Dark in Here- Another cool intro with some nice backing ballads.
Elton sounds awesome on this one really a classic feel here. Ending is the
best part of it with a nice little change on vocal at the end. A-
Cant Keep this From You- I like the Procal Harum like organ at the
beginning. I like the soulful feel of the song, its a better than average
ballad, and the chorus is powerful vocally. More great singing from Elton
with a nice middle section reminding me a bit of every breath you take. And
the vocal finale is quite intense and you can clear hear the band , and its
a nice way to end the Album. A-
I really love the album its one of the most consistent albums ive heard from
him. Elton has gotten into a nice little groove with the last two albums. It
will be interesting to see if he can keep it up and where this trend will
take him on the next album. I agree that it stinks that there arent any
lyrics in the booklet in the cd, but that shouldnt take anything away from
the brilliance Peachtree Road is. So thank you again Elton and Bernie for
Keeping up the good work and creating masterpieces.
Peachtree Road Poster
Special repackaged version of 2004 album with 3 bonus tracks from the hit musical Billy Elliot. plus a DVD (PAL/Region 0) with 9 songs from the album recorded live at The Tabernacle in Atlanta, Georgia. Peachtree Road easily rivals the best work of Elton's illustrious career and the album features 12 brand new John/Taupin songs. Recorded in Atlanta and produced for the first time by Elton himself, Peachtree Road is heavily influenced by the sound of the American South, at times incorporating a choir, pedal steel, acoustic guitar as well as his trademark piano virtuosity. Longtime band members Davey Johnstone and Nigel Olsson are aboard. Showcasing a voice that's gotten deeper and richer with age, John wisely sticks to a set that is predominantly made up of ballads. *Please note you will need an All Code DVD player to view. Universal. 2005.It's relatively easy to launch a comeback. It's far harder to maintain one. The follow-up to 2001's warmly received (by critics, anyway) Songs from the West Coast indicates Elton John is committed to following through on his late career critical renaissance. Entirely self-produced and featuring his trusty band on each song (and have any sidemen been more stalwart than Davey Johnstone and Nigel Olsson?), Peachtree Road's noble ambitions aren't entirely realized. Starting strong with the telling "Weight of the World" ("Happy to play with the weight of the world off my back") and Americana-flavored "Porch Swing in Tupelo," the 12-song set loses momentum as it progresses. Overproduction rears its glitzy head most egregiously in "All That I'm Allowed." Still, the young Elton John who took the singer-songwriter movement to new heights in the early '70s with the likes of Tumbleweed Connection and Honky Chateau is in evidence on Peachtree Road. He's laid the groundwork to totally throw caution to the wind and make a truly great album. Next time, perhaps? --Steven Stolder
