The first album to be released on Elton's Rocket label, was also the last before he took an extended break from the music scene.
From the first track 'Your Starter For', this is an Elton John album unlike any other. With instrumentals, orchestral numbers, rock, ballads, jazzy overtones and gospel, this is a real delight with a surprise around every corner.
Pleasantly more experimental than any other Elton album, he and Bernie Taupin produce an album that can be listened to over and over again.
Best tracks: Tonight,Chameleon,Shoulder Holster,Cage the Songbird,Someone's Final Song.
Take a listen and judge this for yourself..this album will not dissapoint you.
As it was, the big hit from the album was Sorry seems to be the hardest word, which made the British and American top tens in 1976. The song eventually topped the British charts when a cover by Blue featuring Elton John was released in 2002.
Two other singles (Crazy water, Bite your lip) were released in the UK, but they only just made the top thirty in 1977. Crazy water was not released in a single in America, but Bite your lip (the only upbeat track here) made the American top thirty.
Cage the songbird (later covered by Crystal Gayle) is dedicated to Edith Piaf, who is sometimes known as the sparrow - however, the only birds mentioned in the song are hawks and eagles. Still, it's a great song.
Shoulder holster is a strange story about a woman seeking revenge on a man who left her - as the lyrics begin by saying, it's a latter-day Frankie and Johnny tale. One horse town is about being stuck in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do.
There are many other interesting songs here as well as three instrumentals, but such a melancholy album will not appeal to everybody. There are other Elton John albums that are easier too appreciate - more upbeat, more danceable - yet this one has an appeal all its own. This may not be the best place to start a collection of Elton's original albums (Goodbye yellow brick road and Too low for zero are better starting points) but if you want to hear something a little different from Elton, give this album a listen.
