Free Music Review: One of Sir Elton's finest albums gets even better with demo tracks
Hit: 5 Stars
OK, if you liked the sound of the previous remaster, you'll probably like the first disc of this set. If not, you should keep your current CD version if you decide to buy this because the last remaster sounds very similar to this one. The duo's third album (and one which allowed Bernie Taupin to explore his obsession with the American old west in detail)features a strong set of music and lyrics. Interestingly, many people thought that Bernie and Elton had been to America before this album and that his was the result when, in fact, Bernie had been inspired to create this after listening to The Band's "Music from Big Pink" and numerous C&W songs such as Marty Robbins' classic tune about "El Paso" (Robbins' signature song and which is clearly echoed on one of the tracks not used for the first album)one of the earliest tunes that Taupin remembers hearing and liking.
The real reason you're probably going to get this is the second disc and if you're a fan of Sir Elton, you'll probably like it. Alot. We get a deluxe booklet (basically the lyrics plus some new info in the essay), the packaging is like the other deluxe editions--a fold out digipak with a plastic cover that slides over it.
The second disc includes six demos for the album all of which sound pretty good one of which was NOT recorded for the final album ("Sisters of the Cross"). We also get four BBC sessions all previously unreleased which include "My Father's Gun", "Ballad of a Well Known Gun", "Burn Down the Mission" and "Amoreena" none of which appear in demo form here.
Elton and Bernie Taupin have suggested that this is one of their finest albums. They're right. This deluxe edition allows you to listen in as Elton and Bernie created "Tumbleweed Connection". Highly recommended.
