Release Notes:
Recorded in the charmed period between the initial success of
ELTON JOHN and superstar extravaganzas like GOODBYE YELLOW
BRICK ROAD, TUMBLEWEED CONNECTION, a loose concept album about
the American West, was a strange, sideways move for Elton John
and songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. A album in the
traditional sense, it is best heard as a piece, with songs that
pick up and expand on each other's moods and settings. Notice,
for example, the progression of characters from the young
fighter waving "My Father's Gun," to the retired and forgotten
"Talking Old Soldiers," to the protagonist of "Where To Now
St. Peter?," shot down by "a sweet young foreign gun" and ready
to be judged by his maker.
The mood holds from the sepia-toned LP cover art to John's
songwriting, influenced by folk and country music and by The
Band's MUSIC FROM BIG PINK. Among the songs it introduced were
"Country Comfort," which Rod Stewart covered on GASOLINE
ALLEY, and "Come Down In Time," later done by both Judy
Collins and Sting. Though the rollicking piano epic "Burn Down
The Mission" and "Amoreena" became FM-radio and concert
staples, TUMBLEWEED CONNECTION remains the only John studio
album without a hit single, a fact that doesn't affect the
impact of this excellent country-rock outing.
