Elton John, Tumbleweed Connection

This is what Elton John is all about! This album highlights and represents what elton, and bernie, always wanted to be. The best thing about it being the fact that it hasnt dated a single year since 1970. A combination of Bernie's love for americana and Eltons R&B Soul and Gospel style melodies, it is the peak of they're songwriting and showmanship bonanza....and ofcourse 40 years later lone behold it comes the inspiration for Elton John and Leon Russels The Union in 2010, no suprise there! One can learn from this album that Elton certainly slipped into the 'glam rock/pop era without even acknowledging he left his best and most authentic work behind. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road still remains his ultimate album, but this one has to come the immaculate second.
