ROCK OF THE WESTIES - cranked up on the record player

[BOSSHOG]

32 year old Elton John Music wafting through Casa Hog, crackles and all. Grow some funk of your own Amigo!

1. Have you found your Island Girl?

:D

[BOSSHOG]

2. She's at work right now but on occasion

I feel like a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford.

[BOSSHOG]

3. And

Billy Bones has gone to town and quit his dockside drinking.

[Frank Cannon]

4. I think that was probably the last REALLY GOOD EJ album

Amazing that this came out just a few months after Captain Fantastic, which was phenomenal itself.

[BOSSHOG]

6. I agree

Its my favorite EJ album and I got just about all of them. All his good stuff was done before then, but that was a helluva cap for the period.

5. elton and bernie...what a team

:thumbsup:

[BOSSHOG]

7. Quite an incredible collaboration

I'll write the lyrics then give them to you and you make the music. Pure Magic.

[Beaverhausen]

8. I think you've inspired me to put that on the turntable tonight!

What a great album. I saw that tour - Philly Spectrum - 1976? Was that the year that one was released?

I haven't replaced any of my old EJ on CD but I need to.

9. 1975 on the album cover

Incredible production. Crank up "Street Kids" and disturb the neighbors.

I have Madman Across the Water on Cassette, Album and CD and I had it on 8-track.

Pre-75 Elton - Awesome.

Enjoy
