Tumbleweed Connection was called in the 70's
"A Concept Album" its unified theme lyrically was filled with images of the American West during the Civil War Era. The incredible genius that enabled Elton to pair just the right music , to his partners Lyrics was a close to perfect as mortals could achieve. I also think people forget two very important aspects of Eltons First and best decade
musically that being Producer Gus Dudgeon and Arranger
Paul Buckmaster.
They sure don't make music like this or albums that were such great works of art anymore. Great job, Linus!
