The bitch is back! Elton John's follow up to "Peachtree Road" is called "The Captain and the Kid" and is to be released on 19 September. It's billed as a concept album that bookends 1975's "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.""The Bridge," the first single off the new set, is quite breathtaking. It's just Elton and his piano, and is hauntingly brilliant. "Every one of us has to face the day / Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away?" John sings.
Elton's last two albums were superb and I look forward to this new set with much anticipation.
(Side note: That's Bernie Taupin riding the horse on the CD cover.)
