Elton John- PEACHTREE ROAD- CD- 2004- Mercury Records Ltd.- 602498685297- 400 grn
PEACHTREE ROAD is the twenty-seventh studio album by English musician Elton John released on 9th November 2004. The album was named after PEACHTREE ROAD, the northern part of Peachtree Street in Atlanta, where one of John's four homes is located. The album features 12 brand new Elton John and Bernie Taupin songs, including the sublime first single, ''All That I'm Allowed (I'm Thankful)'' out November 1st. PEACHTREE ROAD was recorded in Atlanta and produced for the first time by Elton John himself. As the name suggests, PEACHTREE ROAD is heavily influenced by the sound of the American South, at times incorporating a choir, pedal steel, acoustic guitar as well as his trademark, piano virtuosity. The album has an irrepressible live quality and follows the acclaimed multi-platinum, Songs From The West Coast released in 2002. It's relatively easy to launch a comeback. It's far harder to maintain one. The follow-up to 2001's warmly received (by critics, anyway) Songs From The West Coast indicates Elton John is committed to following through on his late career critical renaissance. Entirely self-produced and featuring his trusty band on each song, PEACHTREE ROAD's noble ambitions aren't entirely realized. Starting strong with the telling "Weight Of The World" and Americana-flavored "Porch Swing In Tupelo," the 12-song set loses momentum as it progresses. Overproduction rears its glitzy head most egregiously in "All That I'm Allowed." Still, the young Elton John who took the singer-songwriter movement to new heights in the early '70s with the likes of Tumbleweed Connection and Honky Chateau is in evidence on PEACHTREE ROAD. He's laid the groundwork to totally throw caution to the wind and make a truly great album. Next time, perhaps?

Elton John returned to the sound and aesthetic of his classic early-'70s work with 2001's Songs From The West Coast, finding critical acclaim, if not much commercial success. PEACHTREE ROAD proves that he's back to making good, solid records focused on songs, not hits, the way he did at the outset of his career. Since this is an album by a veteran, not an artist on the rise, it doesn't have the sense of discovery, or the hunger, that the early records still retain, and the production is a little cleaner and crisper than the rich, warm sound of the late Gus Dudgeon, who helmed such masterworks as Tumbleweed Connection. This means PEACHTREE ROAD is about craft, both in the writing and recording, which also means that it's a grower, with each song sounding stronger, better with each spin. Not that this is as lush as Elton John or country-tinged as Tumbleweed Connection but it fits alongside those albums quite nicely because the focus is on songs, not trying to have hits. These songs may not rival his standards, but they're in the same tradition, and there's not a bad song in the bunch, resulting in a sturdy, satisfying record that proves that the comeback on Songs From The West Coast was no fluke and, hopefully, this latter-day renaissance for Elton will not be short-lived either.
