- Mercury Records Ltd.- 044006308708- 500 grn
SONGS FROM THE WEST COAST is the twenty-sixth studio album by English musician Elton John, released worldwide on 1 October 2001. The album was produced by Patrick Leonard (who at that point had already worked with Madonna, Bryan Ferry and Roger Waters, to name a few) and was generally well-received by critics, regarding it as a welcome return to the singer-songwriter’s ‘classic’ sound. The first single, ''I Want Love'', benefitted from a fabulous video starring Robert Downey Jnr (who was on the cusp of rebooting his career) and the promo (directed by Sam Taylor-Wood) undoubtedly helped the song hit the top ten hit in the UK and Canada although Elton would have been disappointed with its performance in the US, where it stalled outside the Billboard Hot 100.
PERSONNEL: Elton John (vocals, piano, harmonium); Davey Johnstone (guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, background vocals); Rusty Anderson (guitar, electric guitar); David Channing (acoustic guitar, dobro); Bruce Gaitsch (acoustic guitar); Stevie Wonder (harmonica, Clavinet); Patrick Leonard (organ, Mellotron, keyboards); Billy Preston (organ); Matt Chamberlain (drums, percussion); Nigel Olsson (drums, background vocals); Jay Bellerose (percussion); Gary Barlow , Paul Bushnell , Tata Vega (background vocals).
SONGS FROM THE WEST COAST is the album for all those who idolize Honky Chateau and Captain Fantastic but feared that Elton John had become Disneyfied beyond repair in the '90s. Whether the inspiration was aesthetic hunger or mid-life crisis, Elton decided to team up with lyricist Bernie Taupin [the man who helped pen all those '70s classics] to produce a more direct, stripped-down album than he's seemed capable of since his glory days. There's no overblown orchestration here, just simple arrangements based quite rightly around Elton's piano and voice. Playing to his strengths, the piano man concentrates largely on ballads, from the somewhat Beatlesque "I Want Love" to the stately, elegiac "This Train Don't Stop There Anymore." Still, Elton didn't become the master pop craftsman that he is by constructing monochromatic records; "The Wasteland" is a churning bluesy number, and "Dark Diamond" employs a modified reggae rhythm. After years of wandering around in a star-studded artistic netherworld, Elton serves notice with SONGS FROM THE WEST COAST that he's putting them together and belting them out again like he did in his heyday. On 22nd July 2002, the album was repackaged as a Special Edition containing a bonus disc with remixes, B-sides and non-album singles from the time of its release.
