"mexican vacation:...did not chart.
another of my xmas gift card purchases, this time Sir Elton's 32nd album release that was released in 2013..
written by old time partner Bernie Taupin and Elton...
produced by T-Bone Burnett...
this album is mainly Elton with piano, although the odd instrument does pop up
lots of great melodies and lyrics here.
other than his album "the union" with Leon Russell this is his best album in almost three decades
