It is a credit to Elton John's gregarious nature and artistic malleability that DUETS works on so many different levels despite having a line-up of partners that appear to have been picked by someone throwing darts at a list of names. Some appear to make sense whereas others seem unfathomable. It's only proper that EJ's first and most successful partner Kiki Dee returns on a lush remake of Cole Porter's "True Love," while drag superstar RuPaul kitschs it up in Dee's place during a high energy reading of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." Bonnie Raitt helps our hero take the standard "Love Letters" to church with some aid from Billy Preston's sanctified piano playing, whereas the faux countrypolitan pacing of "Born To Lose" works surprisingly well in accommodating both John's supple tenor and Leonard Cohen's low rumble of a voice. Elton John's solo singing is given excellent representation by "Duets For One," an amazingly upbeat song co-written with Squeeze's Chris Difford that features Chris Rea's twangy slide guitar. Rea does double-duty, getting his turn at the mike with John on the guitarist's self-penned "If You Were Me."

Report this review  Elton John Duets CDReview created: 11/02/06 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Of course I love Elton but this CD did not meet my expectations. It was just 'okay' as far as I'm concerned. In fact, I've given the CD away to someone who might appreciate it more than me. Review ID: 10000000002219196 Was this review helpful? Report this review Always Wanted the CD1 of 1 people found this review helpful. My wife always wanted the Elton John CD, and we couldn't find it around here. She bid on one before and didn't win it. So I did it this time and won it for her, now it plays on her way to work every morning. Thanks again Review ID: 10000000002068877 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
