ELTON JOHN THE CLASSIC YEARS Series.
DON'T SHOOT ME I’M ONLY THE PIANO PLAYER is the sixth studio album by English musician Elton John. Released in January 22, 1973 by DJM Records, it was the first of two studio albums he released in 1973 (the second was Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, released nine months later), and was his second straight No. 1 album in the US and first No. 1 album in the UK. Classic rock 'n' roll and '70s pop came together seamlessly on this 1973 album. This has his mega-hit "Crocodile Rock" and smash ballad "Daniel". This CD adds "Jack Rabbit"; "Skyline Pigeon" (piano version), and two more bonuses! One of the best entries from Elton John and Bernie Taupin's remarkably successful mid-'70s run, this album still holds up well over a quarter of a century after its release. Even casual fans will recognize "Daniel," "Elderberry Wine," and "Crocodile Rock," but "Teacher I Need You," "Have Mercy On The Criminal" and "I'm Going To Be A Teenage Idol" are equally good. Elton's backing band at the time (guitarist Davey Johnstone, bassist Dee Murray, and drummer Nigel Olsson) was easily his best, and producer Gus Dudgeon and orchestral arranger Paul Buckmaster bathed the tracks in a warm and enticing glow. The only complaint is that, due to its size, the CD reissue doesn't remotely do justice to the colorful packaging of the original album.

Elton John became a true superstar with 1972's Honky Chateau. He followed that album with DON'T SHOOT ME I’M ONLY THE PIANO PLAYER, his most direct, pop-oriented album to date. Designed as a pastiche of classic and contemporary pop styles, the album almost sounds like an attempt to demonstrate the diversity of the John/Taupin team. Though the hits are remarkable ["Daniel" is a moving ballad and "Crocodile Rock" is a sly take on '50s rock & roll] the album is slightly uneven. Several of the album tracks, particularly the knowing "I'm Going To Be A Teenage Idol" and the rocking "Elderberry Wine," are as strong as anything John had recorded, but there are too many melodies that simply don't catch hold. Nevertheless, the singles were strong enough to keep the album at the top of the charts, and at its best, it is a very enjoyable piece of well-crafted pop/rock.
