Music reviews of Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Music Review: Well worth it!
Rating: 5 Stars
I have owned this album in both vinyl (twice--long story) and CD; but ordered the Deluxe edition solely for a high-quality copy of the live tracks from the 1975 Wembley concert during which Elton played the entire album in order. This approach works because it is an autobiographical album and there is an order to the tracks. My only complaint is that the live tracks are broken out in such as fashion that the intro to the next song is actually found on the tail end of the previous track. It seems that it would have made more sense to have any spoken intros attached to the beginning of the related track. The packaging is very well done in that it aims to be faithful to the original vinyl release with the "comic book," lyrics book, poster, and many of the photographs. Everything is just smaller.
Description of Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Elton John has always liked having it both ways. He's flamboyant and vain, yet empathetic and sincere. He sits at his piano playing sentimental melodies, but the words come not from inside his soul but from friend Bernie Taupin. For Captain Fantastic, he and Taupin wrote a concept album which sketches their career together. "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is easily the strongest song outside of the concept. The addition of several songs "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" featuring John Lennon, "Philadelphia Freedom," and "One Day at a Time" blow the concept but up the entertainment value considerably. --Rob O'ConnorAlbum-Oriented Rock (AOR) CDs
