Free Music Notes for Tumbleweed Connection
Free Music Review: he didn't tumble
Hit: 5 Stars
Elton John has had MANY classic albums over the years, and that's why people remember him as the top 5 musicians of the 70's. The early days were really good too.
While the western/country pop rock style of Elton John is one of the main things people note about Tumbleweed Connection, it should also be noted that despite sounding different from the pop rock commercial phase of Elton John's career (starting with the "Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player" album) his typical style of piano pop on Tumbleweed Connection isn't really any different from any other song you've heard by Elton John. It just *sounds* different with the western influences. The songs are still written the same way as usual.
So basically what I'm trying to say is even though the album has a western vibe, it still falls in the same category of singer-songwriter and the songs really aren't constructed any differently from that of say "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me".
However, the quality of the music is REALLY high, and that makes the album a classic.
Tumbleweed Connection Poster
Tumbleweed Connection is part of the early catalog of Elton John's work that Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose reportedly once said he would love to own the publishing rights to as a work of art. Indeed, it does contain some of John's most expressive work as an artist, but with the showy stage presence and pop melodicism still under construction. Tumbleweed is characterized by John's balladeer approach, with John at his storyteller best on songs like "Burn Down the Mission." Even if the lyrics were generally written by Bernie Taupin, John's voice and inflection made every song seem deeply personal. The beautiful "Come Down in Time" displays the subtleties and sophistication of his talent, with the piano not yet serving as the instrumental focal point it would later become. The album also features the favorite "Ballad of a Well-Known Gun" and "Where to Now St. Peter?" --Steve GdulaCountry Music CDs
