Explore the music of Elton John. Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy In the Style of Elton John. Elton John can be a master of the sleight of hand. The arrangements make it seem like there are substantial melodies underneath the tracks - but almost nothing demands repeated listenings. Similarly, he always sounds like hes singing up a storm, but his voice glosses over the material, reducing most things to an uninteresting sameness. As long as Elton John can bring forth one performance per album on the order of Someone Saved My Life Tonight, the chance remains that he will become something more than the great entertainer he already is and go on to make a lasting contribution to rock.

Elton John - Tell Me When The Whistle Blows. It's no coincidence that it's their best album since then, showcasing each at the peak of his power, as John crafts supple, elastic, versatile pop and Taupin's inscrutable wordplay is evocative, even moving. What's best about the record is that it works best of a piece - although it entered the charts at number one, this only had one huge hit in Someone Saved My Life Tonight, which sounds even better here, since it tidily fits into the musical and lyrical themes. The 1975 LP shows off Eltons stylistic leaps too-beautiful, languid ballads like Someone Saved My Life Tonight and Curtains mix with baroque, ivory-tickled poppers Bitter Fingers and Better Off Dead. Then Elton and the band rock hard on Gotta Get A Meal Ticket, and offer up a randy slice of Philly-styled soul on Tell Me When the Whistle Blows.
