Apr 2, 2016I enjoyed listening to all songs except one and Elton John's voice is legendary as always. It's one of the best albums of the year, it doesn't aim for producing hits or anything like this so it's understandable that its peak position at Billboard 200 is #8. Overall, Wonderful Crazy Night is a pretty good album both lyrically and musically.

Mar 18, 2016Absolutely a Wonderful Crazy Album and I am SOOOOO glad Elton John keeps at it cause goodness knows he doesn't have to! He thinks of his die hard fans and for that I am grateful.

Feb 12, 2016This album is for me the best since 1989 Sleeping with the Past. Second album with T-Bone too, this duet sounds well. This is a festival of music. If Elton continues with this type of albums he can score any No.1.

Feb 8, 2016Having grown up on Elton's masterworks during the 70's ,I tried to listen to this album .
I just can't get past how bad his voice is now relative to his prime days with Bernie Taupin .
Well i tried the first few songs and I give up .Long live Elton! -

Feb 23, 2016As good as the tracks are, there isn’t that one real standout. Still, his voice sounds great, the songs are catchy and engaging but still well-crafted, and Elton and his band seem to be having a genuinely good time.

Feb 12, 2016Everything about Wonderful Crazy Night is utterly predictable, from its subject matter to its comprising 100% mid-tempo ballads, be they boogie-woogie piano (‘Looking Up’, ‘England and America’) or acoustic guitar lighter than a Peter Kay show (‘I’ve Got 2 Wings’, ‘Tambourine’). But despite this--and perhaps in no small part thanks to T Bone Burnett adding a lovely warm country tinge in the production--none of it grates.

Feb 8, 2016Under the production of John and T-Bone Burnett (back again after The Diving Board), the instrumentation on Wonderful Crazy Night is glossy yet separate, as if each part was recorded in its own high-end echo chamber. As a result, none of it sounds unified--more high-fidelity karaoke mix than a band that’s playing together.
