at mrwalterflynn....washed up has beens? What planet did your species originate? These are two of the greatest musicians to have ever graced a stage. Leon's work has shaped rock and roll as we know it! Elton is a class act.

Easily the best album from Elton in the past 20 years. This has opened Leon Russell's catalogue to me and will probably do so for many fans out there. I'd only ever seen him in George Harrisson's concert for bangladesh performing jumping jack flash which was great. Also brilliant to hear this amazing band play Tiny Dancer the way it should be with the country guitars and gospel backing vocals.

@flynn What a perfect asshole you are. Elton is as hot as ever, a KNIGHT who sells out concerts. He helped bring Leon back to life. When I saw Leon last he needed an ambulance. He had nothing 18 years ago. It WAS sad seeing him then. Jeff Baxter? The dude is a defense missile consultant now. He works w/the military! Talk about a has been. This UNION was an original, wonderful, creative idea & you ruining it w/your moist, bambi eyed sentimentality over 1 concert you saw just sucks. Fuck you!

Leon's humour is so dry. You knew he was gonna say that. I hope a lot of young persons are paying attention to what Elton did here w/the whole Leon Russell comeback. A kind and genius move.

Step away from the Bieber, Beyonce, Katy Perry bullshit and check out what the 40 year olds grew up with. Good musicianship BEFORE fame.

I could do without the KMART signs everywhere though. That is a little annoying. But we'll give Sir Elton a pass on the commercialism.

In 1971 my roommate at college turned me onto Leon Russell.. Listen to what Elton said about listening to Leon's music from back then that made him cry! If you were of this age and knew Leon as i did,....you cry now too! Thankyou Elton!

I think Elton has a point, much of the human element is removed from popular music these days. I like this album because it's different. There is not many artists who have this much soul, grit, and humanity in their music. Great job Leon and Elton! PS they do not lip sync like some of these spoiled 20 year old pop singers--these guys are the real deal!

[Moscato51]

These two guys are sooo terrific. As a musician myself, they were very instrumental to me all the way back to 1970. I'm so glad they are doing this wonderful work.

Where is the melody of chorus of Tiny Dancer? "Hold Me Closer Tiny Dancer" used to be strong in falsetto of Elton!

[BritishArrow]

It was funny when Elton and Leon came out of the Westerhale Bar in LA in 1976, and Paul McCartney was passing and gave them a cake.

[Tara1823]

There are great Leon Russell videos on youtube. Try the ones from 1971 called Leon Russell and friends. He looks great for having brain surgury.

@peelumba AMEN!
