   Employing the titles Sir Elton John and The Deep South in the same sentence sounds like a contradiction. In this, my favorite Elton John Employing the titles Sir Elton John and The Deep South in the same sentence sounds like a contradiction. In this, my favorite Elton John album, his notable versatility makes the listener feel as though John has lived in his adopted hometown of Atlanta most of his life. Unlike other elderstatemen of Rock, like the Stones, John sounds comfortable and at ease with aging on this album. Every song goes down like a slow swig of aged Kentucky Bourbon, and is just as intoxicating. Even his voice, thick with his British accent, has developed the flexibility to almost sound "country" (i.e. "Turn the Lights Out When You Leave") It is evident that adopting Atlanta as another hometown has been good for him musically. There is still some classic Elton John here such as "They Call Her the Cat." And, just when you think Sir Elton has described love in more ways than McCartney, "Freaks in Love" allows one to look at love with a fresh, fascinating eye. He is humble when he sings he has been blessed with "all that he's allowed;" but those who have followed John's musical journey know that there will always be more to come from one of pop's best.… Expand

   Peachtree is too formulaic. Where is the true soul? I wonder if Elton can create a truly inspiring record anymore. Yes, like everything since Peachtree is too formulaic. Where is the true soul? I wonder if Elton can create a truly inspiring record anymore. Yes, like everything since Captain in 1975, there are flashes of brilliance. I am touched but I am not moved. Should Elton give up his riches (temporarily) to taste the struggle again? It would no longer be a revisiting of his artisitc approach/style (we praise his attempts), but it would be the real thing! Hell, it would make a great reality tv show (HBO, of course). "All that I'm Allowed" is simple and quite nice. "Answer," "Turn the Lights Out," "Weight," and "Porch Swing" work well. The rest of the songs are tolerable to Elton fans like myself, though I must say that I found "Cat" and "Freaks" intolerable and embarrassing. God Bless you Elton. Remember the East End Lights? Can't you come out to play (Hey, Hey, Johnny)? … Collapse
