Reviews4 stars out of 5 - "...This LP has an alt-country lope, some old-school close miking and is far removed fromt he 'bad years'....with superb, Dylan-voiced songs...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...It aims to recapture the expansive sounds and sensibility of MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER, HONKY CHATEAU and other early vehicles that blasted pop's rocket man into the AM-FM stratosphere....Elton's spirit and ambition have finally come back home.", "...Outmusic for Outpeople..."

EngineerJoe Chiccarelli, Todd Shoemaker, David Channing, Ralph Sutton, Brian Scheuble
