Some Elton Fans in thier 20'-30's are wondering what this is. I wonder too. Why did he bother to do this?. To make $$ of course. This Sequel to "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" is Better than the last 6 albums COMBINED Elton has made even though "The Bridge" is the worst song on the whole album. It Figures he picks that one to try to make a hit with. "The House Fell down" would have done much better. If you listen to the rest of them it's still pretty entertaining and enlightening. Not a Classic Album but a HELL of a lot better then the Previous "Peachtree Road" and anything Elton made after 1994.
I love all the songs on the CD. To me, this CD above all the others, tell the story of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. I have one CD in the car, one at home and one at work.....kind of addicted. All three CD's were bought through e-bay and all three sellers were fantastic.
anyone who has been a long time or even a short time fan of elton will hear the excellence in the collaboration expertise to elton and bernie. the only thing i didn't like about the album is the reality that the journey of elton and bernie is coming to a close and you can feel that in the lyrics of all the songs especially the song " the Bridge". i specifically purchased the album to maintain my collection and to prepare for the the 3-22-07 concert at the Dunkin Donut Center in Providence, RI. it was the warm up concert for elton & the band for his 60th birthday party at MSG. its been 8 years since he came to providence and probably the last time. It was definitely the concert to see and to further appreciate the album "The Captain & The Kid".
