This is not a critical review, you will have to look for the so called music expert or audiophile for that. I purchased this CD because it was Elton John and for no other reason, let me explain. As a music lover I grew up listening to many styles of music, thanks to my parents I was exposed to blues, country and jazz at an early age. I started collecting music while I was in Jr. High, The Beach Boys, Jan & Dean were probably some of the first, and am still at it. Elton John was one of the artists that I really enjoyed in the 70's and he is one of a very short list that I will purchase, without hearing because I know that I will like the majority, if not all, of the music, this CD was no exception. While I will always be partial to his early music, 11/17/70, Elton John, Tumbleweed Connection, Honky Chateau etc. I have come to enjoy his current offerings as well. I have seen him in concert several times and have always enjoyed the show. Elton John has evolved into a true rock icon.
