Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as a direct autobiographical sequel to 1975's 'Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy', this poignant concept album finds Elton John and Bernie Taupin reflecting on their lifelong musical partnership. The piano-driven narrative traces their decades of triumph and tragedy through heartfelt, bittersweet country-rock structures.
