Elton John's twenty-seventh studio album was originally released in 2004, and remains the only release in his extensive and much-loved catalog to be produced solely by him alone. Taking in his love for R&B, country, and Americana, it is a rootsy album, that continued the back-to-basics attitude of his preceding record Songs From The West Coast. It also marked the return of his legendary drummer Nigel Olsson, reunited with guitarist Davey Johnstone.
