Elton John-Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (1975)

In 1975, a triumphant and exuberant Elton John released his ninth album. By this point in his career, his hits were pouring in, achieving countless top ten hits on both sides of the Atlantic and selling millions of records worldwide. His creativity, alongside his inseparable collaborator Bernie Taupin, seemed boundless, and in fact, that same year, 1975, they released two albums: "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" and, a few months later, their tenth, "Rock of the Westies". Focusing on the former, Elton John created his most epic work, which, combined with its dynamic range of styles, resulted in an evocative, elegant, and captivating album. Attractive tracks such as the title track or “Tell Me When The Whistle Blows”, “Tower Of Babel”, “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” or the powerful “(Gotta Get A) Meal Ticket”, demonstrated the full compositional maturity of one of the best British duos of the seventies.
