Album #22 and his candle burned out long before his legend ever did. Wow, that was a cool line. How do I come up
with this stuff? Captain Fantastic was Elton's last great album for me, but I was still hanging on waiting on that
return to form, still waiting. One great song on this one in Amazes Me for which the clip includes two tracks. That
seemed to be about par for me with Elton's later releases. One or two great tracks and then blah. Surprising to see
that his first UK #1 single came from here with Sacrifice, taking the album to #1 also. Not so hot here at #23 for
the album and #18 for that single. Two other singles of Healing Hands and Club At The End Of The Street which is
probably my second favorite. Only one track I don't care for at all, Stones Throw From Hurtin'. An ok album, but
nothing close to early Elton. Same goes for Bernie who is just out of words. Elton and Bernie both say this album is
a tribute to the soul sounds of the 60's and 70's. Not sure what soul they were listening to, but nothing here
sounds like any soul I heard from that period.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Stones Throw From Hurtin'

Best Track - Amazes Me

You're a cool little one
My dark southern breeze
Sweeps through my fingers
And it amazes me

Dixie shadowland
Your envy shelters me
Lay down your burden
Mystery of ebony

And it amazes me
Oh it amazes me
Maybe the heat babe could be this tune
It amazes me
It amazes me
What drives me crazy is that big fat yellow moon

Look up that pale light
Well she's waking the trees
I'm drifting in your hoodoo
And it amazes me

That magnolia state
Got a hold on me
I got no blues to preach
Just Mississippi company

Ain't no magic potion
No gri-gri on her side
She's bound to my salvation
Sweet little mama
Take me down by the river tonight
And it amazes me

ok...

i obviously like this one a lot better than you MH...pretty sure when i did it a long time ago that it got around 2.4 with Sacrifice as my favourite track, cant remember if your worst track or Club At The End Of The Street got worst track???

the double "A" side hit Healing Hands/Sacrifice was incidently his first solo #1 hit in the UK...amazing fact considering the great tunes he had in the 1970s and early 1980s!
