absolutely excellent music. was disappointed that the 'Making of" DVD was only about 10 minutes long. Seemed odd. None the less, Leon Russell is amazing and Elton John's not so bad either.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This is a superb CD by Elton John & Leon Russell, and has introduced the genius that is Leon Russell to a lot of new fans. For that, I am sincerely thankful to Sir Elton! Every song on the CD is very good. My favorites are "If It Wasn't for Bad," "Hey Ahab", "There's No Tomorrow," & "Hearts Have Turned to Stone." I have loved Leon for years! All his work is great! I hope Elton got revved up by this experience and goes back to his roots more with the piano and some boogie-woogie thrown in...it would do him good to walk away more often from the pop standards he's been doing. You can't go wrong in buying this one, though! Leon Russell is the Master of Space & Time!
I watched the show on the FUSE channel and it was good, however when I received the CD I was blown away! If you love Leon Russell and Elton John you will not be disappointed at all. The talent of both of these artists is just as good if not better than in their younger years. Neil Young makes an appearance in one of the songs, his voice is as good as always, also. I can't stop listening to it! Keep on rocking Leon and Elton! I haven't watched the DVD yet so I can't review that.
One of the best collaborative musical projects highlighting the remarkable careers of two keyboard giants in decades. Leon Russell and Elton John deserve the spotlight and accolades for this stunning recording, as well as lyricist Bernie Taupin and the master of the soundboard, T-Bone Burnett. Leon rides into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame on the soaring wings of this valedictory musical collaboration showcasing two lions at the top of their game. Long may they roar!
I love the new songs but, I wish he would have included some of his older 'hits' on this CD. I did not know who Leon Russell but the 2nd CD included, is some information on him and why they are traveling together on this tour he is in the middle of. I will see him in Ashville on the 16th so maybe then he will play more older hits.
