This should be fun. I kindda lost interest in Elton after Yellow Brick. Time to catch up with this and more.
ReplyDeleteHi lemonflag.
DeleteHe is a very prolific artist, and much can be lost by not exploring his whole catalog.
I hope this set offers something new for you. The covers are always interesting, who did them and their take on an Elton john song.
Cheers.
I'm a bit like lemonflag except I lost interest after "Blue Moves" although "Too low for zero" was pretty good - thanks BB
