Elton John- THE CAPTAIN & THE KID- CD- 2006- Mercury Records Ltd.- 602517064225- 400 grn
THE CAPTAIN & THE KID is the twenty-eighth studio album by English musician Elton John, released in September 18, 2006. It is his second autobiographical album with lyricist Bernie Taupin, picking up where Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy (1975) left off. THE CAPTAIN & THE KID chronicles the events in their lives over the intervening three decades. More than 30 years after its release, Elton John really HAS become Captain Fantastic and Bernie Taupin is most definitely The Brown Dirt Cowboy and they have made a sequel to that landmark #1 album. THE CAPTAIN & THE KID tells the tale of not only their lives, but also of the fantastic records of the '60's & '70's when music was the most important voice of our culture and the was its prime vehicle. With Elton's 60th birthday coming up, its only right to reflect on a life he has lived to the fullest yet continue to push the musical boundaries forward. Whatever you favorite Elton album may be, after listening to THE CAPTAIN & THE KID, you will transported back to that place in time when music mattered most and also believe that it still does! Thirty- five years later Elton & Bernie are as passionate about the music as they have ever been and any proof you need is in these 10 tracks known as THE CAPTAIN & THE KID. The degree to which you'll like THE CAPTAIN & THE KID is going to depend on your personal history with Sir Elton John. If you're a resolute follower who was once reduced to a quivering mass of humility by "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and then revived by the blast of pop liberation that was "Philadelphia Freedom" you'll have enough invested to appreciate the concept. If you're a late arrival to the Rocket Man's repertoire, you'll have to adjust your expectations. KID, unlike more recent efforts, isn't aiming itself at the lite-FM listening masses. What it's asking instead is that you return yourself to your 1970s-era childhood bedroom, flop on the bed, and lock the door, or at least fasten an elastic band around your MTV-addled attention span. This is total-immersion music, and it's got 30 years worth of stories to tell.
PERSONNEL; Elton John – lead vocals, acoustic piano; Guy Babylon – keyboards; Davey Johnstone – guitars, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, backing vocals; Bob Birch – bass, backing vocals; Nigel Olsson – drums, backing vocals; John Mahon – percussion, backing vocals; Matt Still – backing vocals; Arthur – "woof-bells".
THE CAPTAIN & THE KID are John and Bernie Taupin, his longtime songwriting partner. The music, a choir-enhanced swerve through genres including pop, rock, blues, folk, and country with signature piano riffs thrown in nearly everywhere, chronicles their splintery relationship. Innocence and hope ("Postcards From Richard Nixon") give way to success and joy ("Just Like Noah's Ark"), which eventually leads to discontent ("Tinderbox") and disaster ("And The House Fell Down"). A shot at redemption ("The Bridge") later finds THE CAPTAIN; reflection ("Old 67") and a joyous reunion (the title track) follow. Theirs is ultimately a simple story, but John and Taupin suffuse it with hypnotic sentimentality - along with the narrative, echoes of past hits wander into several classic-sounding tracks. "Tiny Dancer" darts through the cracked-voice beauty of "Blues Never Fade Away" and "The Bridge," for example, while "Wouldn't Have You Any Other Way (NYC)" works in hints at both "Candle In The Wind" and "Where To Now St. Peter." Other songs shake loose less likely influences ("I Must Have Lost It On The Wind" sounds like something off a vintage Linda Ronstadt album), but all are compellingly steeped in context; if you don't get the late-disc reference to fine silk suits and six-inch heels, you'll wish you did.
