Captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy is an outstanding album along the lines of Goodbye yellow brick road which is my personal favourite Elton John album. This is a close second though with great tracks throughout including the excellent single Someone saved my life tonight. Also included as bonus tracks are the singles Philidelphia freedom and Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Excellent value!
Quality Elton John++Should be gold plated and archived for future generations++His back catalogue should become compulsory subject matter for all curriculums as part of our national herritage in order to re-educate the youth of today to appreciate quality music and divert their interest from the mundane S**Te that all of our current youth are served up and conditioned into believing is good eg High School Musical
There have been some fine albums put out by the partnership, but this, with its unusual mix of crowd pleasers like Someone Saved My Life and experimental Better Off Dead and Curtains makes for a really rounded album. He wasn't pleased with it, but it remains among my favourites
