[CRAZY-HORSE]

ELTON JOHN "jump up!" vinyl, 1982

Reggie's 16th of 30 studio albums...
both Elton and Bernie hate this album, except for "blue eyes" and "empty garden"...
I don't hate the album, theres quite a bit to like, but those two tracks are streets ahead
of the rest of it....
anyway, the album is way better than its predecessor "the fox", but not as good as the 
follow up "too low for zero"....
"blue eyes" would almost certainly be in my top ten tracks of his and "empty garden" is
his tribute to slain friend John Lennon...
so, an okay album overall, nowhere near his best, but as always theres always a couple of gems
on his albums that make it all worthwhile...except "the fox" which was abysmal!
