ELTON JOHN THE CLASSIC YEARS Series.
EMPTY SKY is the debut studio album by British musician Elton John, released on 6 June 1969. It was not issued in the United States until January 1975 (on MCA), with different cover art, well after John's fame had been established internationally. Elton John's first album, EMPTY SKY, is a great example of a debut album that only hints at the brilliance to come. It's not a bad record by any means, but it is a product of its time, and you can hear John and his lyricist Bernie Taupin learning their way and finding their voice as they go. The man born Reginald Dwight began his collaboration with Taupin in 1967, but the pair had little success in trying to sell songs to other artists via Dick James' DJM Records. After anointing himself Elton John, he recorded EMPTY SKY in late-1968 and early-1969 for DJM. Although the record hit stores in the U.K. in June 1969, it wasn't released stateside until 1975, when MCA picked up the record after John had already found major success with his unprecedented run of early '70s classics. The real Elton is somewhere on EMPTY SKY. His piano work throughout is explosive, surpassing even some of the records for which he would later become far more famous. The chunky chords that punctuate the intro to the album's title track make you wish the song had somehow found its way into his live set over the years; the Pete Townshend-ish guitar chords that slice across the top of "Empty Sky" call to mind Davey Johnstone's work on John's albums to come. EMPTY SKY also includes at least one song that would become a deep cut classic for fans, the tender ballad "Skyline Pigeon." Over the years, "Skyline Pigeon" continued to make an occasional and welcome appearance in John's live sets. It's just weird to hear all those touches we've come to know as "vintage Elton" on an album that amounts to bluesy psychedelic pop. Taupin's lyrics don't help matters at all. It's hard to believe the guy who would soon pen the words to "Your Song" could be quite so jazzed about chronicling the Vikings who worshiped Thor on "Val-Halla." In a strange way, EMPTY SKY sounds like a transition record, except there's nothing to transition from. It's more like John and Taupin were working out the kinks in their own collaboration and getting some serious stoner music out of their system before becoming the rock-pop legends they were destined to be.
PERSONNEL: Elton John – vocals, piano, organ, Hohner Pianet, harpsichord; Caleb Quaye – electric guitar, acoustic guitar, congas; Tony Murray – bass guitar; Roger Pope – drums, percussion; Nigel Olsson – drums; Don Fay – saxophone, flute; Graham Vickery – harmonica.
Although he had made a number of re-recordings of popular songs for a budget record label in the late '60s, EMPTY SKY was the first true solo album Elton John recorded after leaving Bluesology; it also marked the beginning of his long and fruitful collaboration with lyricist Bernie Taupin. EMPTY SKY is quite indicative of the post-Sgt. Pepper's era. With its ambitious arrangements and lyrics, it's clear that John and Taupin intended the album to be a major statement. Though it shows some signs of John's R&B roots, most of the album alternates between vaguely psychedelic rock and Taupin and John's burgeoning pop songcraft, capped off by a bizarre reprise of brief moments of all of the songs on the record. There aren't any forgotten gems on EMPTY SKY, but it does suggest John's potential.
