Singles - Home Again (#143 UK)
----------Mexican Vacation

First new Elton album listen in 17 years. His voice seems better than ever. At times it felt like I was listening to Billy Joel. They are rocks
piano men. I get 3 love tracks and 3 I don't like out of this. Adding the 3 different useless short instrumental pieces together to come up with
one of those dislikes. Sad to not see any of Eltons regular band members on here, and T-Bone Burnett picks up production duties. The album seems
more piano heavy that the past few I have listened to. It debuted high on the charts but here in the states dropped off after only an 8 week
run. Has yet to reach gold status and only silver in the UK. Both singles have failed to catch on anywhere. This is a good album and a step up
from The Big Picture. Now I have to fill in that 4 album gap I have.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM
