Tumbleweed Connection

Description

Newly remastered by original producer Gus Dudgeon
utilizing 20 bit technology. Features complete packaging with detailed sleeve
notes and 2 bonus tracks: “Into the Old Man’s Shoes” and “Madman Across the
Water” (original version). Tumbleweed Connection is part of the
early catalog of Elton John’s work that Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose
reportedly once said he would love to own the publishing rights to as a work
of art. Indeed, it does contain some of John’s most expressive work as an
artist, but with the showy stage presence and pop melodicism still under
construction. Tumbleweed is characterized by John’s balladeer approach, with
John at his storyteller best on songs like “Burn Down the Mission.” Even if
the lyrics were generally written by Bernie Taupin, John’s voice and
inflection made every song seem deeply personal. The beautiful “Come Down in
Time” displays the subtleties and sophistication of his talent, with the piano
not yet serving as the instrumental focal point it would later become. The
album also features the favorite “Ballad of a Well-Known Gun” and “Where to
Now St. Peter?” –Steve Gdula
