ELTON JOHN: 100 DEEP CUTS. This post: 1969. More next week.
Elton John boasts a catalogue of mega-selling and critically lauded albums. His songs are ubiquitous on the radio. We are all familiar with the signature hit songs such as “Candle In The Wind”, “Tiny Dancer”, “Rocket Man”, “I’m Still Standing”, “Daniel”, “Crocodile Rock”, “Your Song” and “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me”. Elton’s songbook is so rich, further exploration reveals a treasure trove of gems just as deserving of attention. Caffè Lattè presents 100 deep cuts -compiled in chronological order- spanning the decades, from 1969 to the present. These tracks may be underrated or unfamiliar, but are further evidence of the talent possessed by Elton John.
100 ESSENTIAL ELTON JOHN
DEEP CUTS
EMPTY SKY {1969}
By the time this album was released, Elton John had left the group Bluesology and started collaborating with lyricist Bernie Taupin. At first, they pitched songs to other performers. Over time, it was decided that Elton ought to record their compositions himself. All of the tracks on debut album ‘Empty Sky’ were penned by him and Taupin. Although well received by critics, the LP failed to attract many record buyers.
0I Skyline Pigeon
This track on his debut album finds Elton alone on harpsichord, piano and lead vocals. It was re-recorded during the sessions for his 1973 LP ‘Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only The Piano Player’ and hints at his potential as a musician. The new (superior) version was the B-side for the hit single “Daniel” and features Elton accompanied by his band.
THE TIME CAPSULE: 100% PURE LOVE. More retro tomorrow.
<<<THE TIME CAPSULE<<<

Crystal Waters
