Details: Review "....John can still sleep with the past and make it sound fresh and vital." -- Maimi Herald, September 28, 2001, 4 STARS "....the album they've been waiting for since the glory days of the early '70s." -- Chicago Sun-Times, September 30, 2001, 4 STARS "...its spirit and ambition have finally come back home." -- Rollingstone, October 11, 2001, 4 STARS "...welcome slice of vintage Elton...work akin to early `70s favorites such as Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water" -- Oakland Press, September 30, 2001, 3 1/2 STARS "Elton John is back to what he does best." -- Atlanta Journal & Constitution, October 2, 2001 Amazon.ca The appearance of "Rocket Man"-era cohorts Nigel Olsson and Davey Johnstone as backing vocalists Touches Songs From the West Coast with one of the trademark sounds of Elton John's 1969-75 albums. His admiration of Ryan Adams and Rufus Wainwright (a guest here) inspires him to recall the often stripped down, lyric-driven sensibility of his early days. The tone of the words, which long-term collaborator Bernie Taupin feeds John, is rooted in a wearier version of the romanticism that fueled oldies as diverse as "Your Song", "Love Lies Bleeding" and "Burn Down the Mission". Songs From the West Coast sidesteps bombast with only a few exceptions--"The Wasteland", with its invocation of Robert Johnson, just doesn't follow. The standout track is "I Want Love", a Lennon-esque rumination that's their most impressive writing, separately or together, in more than a decade. --Rickey Wright
