Recording information: Caribou Ranch, Colorado (06/1974 - 07/1974).
One of Elton John's many 1970s pop gems, CAPTAIN FANTASTIC & THE DIRT BROWN COWBOY is a classic album filled with well-written, catchy tunes. The most famous song from this record is the radio hit, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight." A bitter tune about a badly entangled relationship, John's lyric rejoices in an 11th-hour triumph of freedom.
CAPTAIN FANTASTIC also features John's well-known version of the Lennon/McCartney favorite "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." John maintains the eccentric sonic elements of this tune, but makes it more dramatic and operatic, particularly as the song's refrain loops on and on towards the ending. "Writing" is another highlight on this disc; Latin-influenced, upbeat, and bubbly, this number contains some quirky bongo playing and a light, care-free lyric centered on the actual process of composing songs. Without a doubt, John and partner Bernie Taupin were one of the best songwriting duos in rock history, and many of their finer collaborations are captured on this 1975 release.

      A Classic In My Collection. Still One of My Favorites

    Even after almost 30 years, this album stands on its own. We are not quite quite sure what inspired Elton to produce such a wonderful album. All that I can think after looking back on this album is that he knows how to paint the words in a song.

    The only hit that ever got any play in the United States from this album was Someone Saved My Life Tonight, but I can't even remember the last time that I ever just listened to one song from this Album. The entire album is a masterpiece.

    Thanks Elton. 5/5
