ELTON JOHN - 21 At 33 (1980)
![[Image: 41bNUFh27GL._SL500_AA300_.jpg]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41bNUFh27GL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
From my vault, Sir Elton's 14th studio album, with most of the songs written by John and English song writer Gary Osborne & others instead of his life long cohort,BernieTaupin. A bland set of soft rock, with two highlights being Little Jeannie (tribute to Marilyn Monroe) and Dear God.Not a great release by Elton IMHO! From the title it appears that he feels a lot younger than his actual age.....
Sampling:

NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE "greendale" 2003. #22 US, #24 UK
a Neil Young "concept" album, detailing life in a small fictional US town narrating the days up to the shooting killing of a cop and the various responses from locals,both sides of the famillies involves and the media attention surrounding it all....sounds quite boring???? it was initially but if you get the cd/dvd version you get all the tracks interlinking with NY & CH playing live in the studio whilst watching the videos on a screen.
as with most concept albums the tracks have no life outside of the album, the exceptions being the final two tracks "sun green" and "be the rain".
the music is still the usual rough/gritty/raw sound of Crazy Horse but in a slightly subdued sound to let the lyrics and vocals become the centre of the album. the vocals are half sung and half spoken to convey the feeling of what is going on in the story.
again, when Young toured this album solo with just his acoustic guitar fans were confused and bewildered, he would introduce each track with lengthy introductions to convey the message of the song prior to comencing the tune.
although not a great album it is good and im sure with time this will prove to be one of his forgotten masterpieces.
again...lack of links????!!!!

i hope the song made sense to you as the album is written like a story...sort of like chapters in a book, good album but music is a bit repeatative
