ELTON JOHN THE CLASSIC YEARS Series.
MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER is the fourth studio album by English musician Elton John, released in November 5, 1971 through DJM and Uni Records. The album was his third album to be released in 1971, at which point John had been rising to prominence as a popular music artist. John's first progressive rock album, MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER contains nine tracks, each composed and performed by John and with lyrics written by songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman plays Hammond organ on two songs. The last album Elton would record at the legendary Trident Studios represents something of “the quiet before the storm” – after its release Elton’s career would go stellar and propel him to global superstar status.

A mature and sensitive set of songs, the set kicks off with ''Tiny Dancer'', which has gone on to become one of Elton’s best-loved tracks. Trading the cinematic aspirations of Tumbleweed Connection for a tentative stab at prog rock, Elton John and Bernie Taupin delivered another excellent collection of songs with MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER. Like its two predecessors, MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER is driven by the sweeping string arrangements of Paul Buckmaster, who gives the songs here a richly dark and haunting edge. And these are songs that benefit from grandiose treatments. With most songs clocking in around five minutes, the record feels like a major work, and in many ways it is. While it's not as adventurous as Tumbleweed Connection, the overall quality of the record is very high, particularly on character sketches "Levon" and "Razor Face," as well as the melodramatic "Tiny Dancer" and the paranoid title track. MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER begins to fall apart toward the end, but the record remains an ambitious and rewarding work, and John never attained its darkly introspective atmosphere again.
