Rock of the Westies (Audio CD)

Customer Review

in a rezi here this album is classified under "hard-rock" - I can not hear the best will. it's not even really rock, at most with a few distorted guitars to Rock souped pop. matter, styles are anyway not care.

after the brilliant concept album "Captain Fantastic ..." had this plate to be probably no chance, recognized as equal. it was commercially a good performance, not much, the more lightweight single "Iceland girl" reached one in the US even space. the much better double-A-side single "Get Some Funk Of Your Own" (one of the best not by the written stones stones tracks) / "I feel like a bullet (in the gun of Robert Ford)" - Robert Ford Shot Jesse James (yes, Bernie tapins Western preference) - did not prevail himself.

This album is lighter, swinging, less focused, less sharp than its predecessor, one had the impression that musicians had simply delight in a bit drauflos play. how far this transmission is due to the fact that with this album Elton's record contract expired, about the eltonologen argue to this day.

the songs are not among the jewels in his collection, they are anything but subtle, but they have style and charm and joie de vivre. the whole album sounds like a tribute to Elton John and gentlemen Rolling Stones, "street kids" also sounds like an Eric Clapton of lost track.

as a bonus piece is "Do not go breaking my heart" on it, the. a little arg banal hit single with Kiki Dee

the strange thing about this album: Elton fired not only needlessly its great rhythm section Nigel Olsson and Dee Murray (which then by a dedication on the cover on some dubious ways were thanked), he stopped the band and an additional guitarist and a keyboardist on , As a result, the sound gets a little cluttered and messy.

With this album ends the golden era of Elton John: ten strong to fantastic studio albums 1969-1975 - what a series. he later hits, but as well as he has never been back.
