Spotify listen:

Carlos' wife...
he features on half the album.
album started off pretty bad for me with a cover of "imagine" followed by an instrumental..
theres three or four instrumentals on here, theyr actually not too bad IMO.
songs flit between jazz and blues thru rock to almost hard rock on one track.
her vocals are impressive also as she belts out a rocker or two through to sultry jazz sounds.
she is an accomplished drummer n her own write also featuring on numerous other artists albums.
im assuming fans of Carlos will already be familiar with her but maybe not.
album really doesnt appeal to me but it probably would to fans of her husband,

I don't like it

Spotify listen:

first four songs sit firmly in the pop genre, only liked the duet with P!nk of those.
the remaining eight fluctuate between pop/country crossover.
liking five maybe six of those.
so all up, half the album is okay but its most certainly not a country album

favourite:

hang on....
in that interview about the state of music didnt Elton say he didnt care about re-issuess only looking forward?
so why is he releasing this this previously unreleased track from 1968???
either way...

i like it.

loved his album from earlier this year.
obviously a cover.
this is how i'd imagine it to sound if Hank sang it
i love it

a cover obviously.
Elton plays piano.
sorry but i'll stick to Bolan's original
