ELTON JOHN THE CLASSIC YEARS Series.
CARIBOU is the eighth studio album by English musician Elton John, released on 24 June 1974 by MCA Records in the US and on 28 June by DJM Records in the UK. ''The Bitch Is Back'' kicks off this 1974 #1, followed later on the LP by another classic Elton John hit of the era, ''Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me''. Guests: Dusty Springfield, Carl Wilson, Tower Of Power and Toni Tenille! In the liner notes to the 1995 CD re-release, Elton John described the album as being quickly recorded in January 1974, with only about nine days to get everything recorded, because he and the band "were under enormous pressure" to finish the album and immediately embark on a Japanese tour. Producer Gus Dudgeon added additional backing vocals, horns and other overdubs after John and the band had finished their work. The album was named after the Caribou Ranch recording studio in Colorado, where part of the album was recorded.

Glitzy showmanship is what fuels CARIBOU, a less successful album than its early-'70s predecessors. Though the shiny surface of the album is alluring, only a few tracks rank among John's best work. "The Bitch Is Back" is one of his best hard rock cuts and "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" is one of his classic ballads, but the album tracks tend to be ridiculous filler on the order of "Solar Prestige A Gammon" or competent genre exercises like "You're So Static." There are a couple of exceptions ["Pinky" is a fine ballad and "Dixie Lily" is an endearing stab at country] but on the whole, CARIBOU is a disappointment.
