All tracks have been digitally remastered by Gus Dudgeon. BLUE MOVES was Elton John's first double-album since 1973's GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD and his last full collaboration with Bernie Taupin before taking a two-year break from the lyricist. MOVES also signaled the end of a Golden Age marked by a string of wildly successful albums (including the aforementioned ROAD and CARIBOU) and non-stop, sold-out tours. This melancholy 1976 release includes what would be EJ's last Top 10 hit for three years ("Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word") and is loaded with numbers reflecting the ennui and burnout both John and Taupin were experiencing at the time ("Between Seventeen And Twenty," "If There's A God In Heaven [What's He Waiting For?]"). Elsewhere, John and Taupin write songs in tribute to Edith Piaf ("Cage The Songbird") and a depressingly debilitated Elvis Presley ("Idol"). Despite the inclusion of these and other heart-wrenching compositions like "Tonight," John's irrepressible upbeat attitude comes to the fore on tracks such as the Caleb Quaye instrumental "Your Starter For..." and "One Horse Town," a peppy song about life in the rural South. Most gratifying is a collaboration with the Reverend James Cleveland and his Southern California Choir on the funky "Boogie Pilgrim." | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  Blue MovesReview created: 06/03/08 by:  Good album. The end of Eltons classic period. After this its all downhill until 1982's too low for zero rebirth.

Report this review Blue Moves - Red HotReview created: 09/07/06 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Remaster of album excellent. Fidelity excellent. Much better recording quality than the vinyl disk. This was not one of Elton's more popular disks. Elton's band plays with orchestra and is easy to chill out on.
