Album Notes Personnel: Elton John (vocals, electric piano, harpsichord, Clavinet, Mellotron, ARP synthesizer); John Lennon (guitar); Davey Johnstone (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, piano, background vocals); David Henschel (ARP synthesizer); Dee Murrey (bass guitar, background vocals); Nigel Olsson (drums, background vocals); Ray Cooper (congas, bongos, cymbals, Jew's harp, tambourine, triangle, bells, hand bells, gong). Audio Remasterer: Tony Cousins. Liner Note Author: John Tobler. 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.

Report this review Elton John's Captain Fantastic in ReviewReview created: 04/07/07 by: This is not one of Elton's best albums but its still an Elton John classic all the way. I like a good portion of this album. Mainly the "filler" cuts on the album such as "Writing," "(Gotta Get A)Meal Ticket," and of course the title track, "Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy." This album was short on singles which is what I like because one tends to get "burn-out" after so may years of hearing the hits. I decided to purchase this album/CD for the memories it brings back while listening to some great filler tracks. Review ID: 10000000003339484 Was this review helpful? Report this review Elton still rocksAfter all these years, the man can still rock. I like the blend on this cd cause I can crank it up, and do house chors or crank it up and do barn chores. Or just crank it up!! Review ID: 10000000001110534 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
