- Mercury Records Ltd.- 602527501574- 500 grn
THE UNION is a collaboration studio album by singer-songwriters Elton John and Leon Russell, released on 19 October 2010 in the US and on 25 October in the UK. This is John's second collaboration album, after 1993's Duets. This is the first studio release by John since 1979's Victim Of Love without any of his regular band members. The album features appearances by Booker T. Jones (on Hammond B-3), Neil Young (vocals), Robert Randolph (pedal steel), and Brian Wilson (vocal harmonies). This album was dedicated to Guy Babylon, John's keyboard player who died a year before its release. "If It Wasn't For Bad" was nominated for the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals and "Hey Ahab" became a staple in John's concert tours.

On the inaugural episode of Elvis Costello’s talk show Spectacle in 2008, Elton John rhapsodized at length about Leon Russell, hauling out a note-perfect impression of Russell’s piano style and Oklahoma drawl. It was enough of a tease to whet the appetite for more but nothing suggested something like THE UNION, a full-fledged duet album with Russell designed to raise the profile of the rock & roll maverick. THE UNION quite deliberately evokes the spirit of 1970, splicing Russell’s terrific eponymous LP with Elton’s own self-titled record and Tumbleweed Connection. In that sense, it’s a kissing cousin to John’s last album, 2006’s The Captain And The Kid, which was designed as an explicit sequel to 1975’s golden era-capping Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy, but thanks to producer T-Bone Burnett, THE UNION dials down Bernie Taupin’s inherent pomp and ratchets up the roots. Surely, it’s a revival for Leon Russell, who has spent decades in the wilderness, but it’s not a stretch to say THE UNION revitalizes Elton John just as much as it does his idol: he hasn’t sounded this soulful in years. Deluxe CD/DVD edition includes DVD that contains a THE MAKING OF directed by Cameron Crowe 2010 collaboration between Rock legends Elton John and Leon Russell. Produced by Oscar and multiple-Grammy award winning producer T-Bone Burnett, THE UNION was recorded live in the studio with Elton and Leon on dueling pianos. The album features a variety of musical genres from R & B, Soul, Gospel, Country, Pop and Rock. The album includes selections written by Elton and his lifelong lyricist Bernie Taupin, as well as the combined incomparable songwriting team encompassing Leon, Elton, Bernie and T Bone.
