new elton john album !!! 2016

woohoo !!  a new Elton john album is on its way...
February 5 , 2016....produced by t bone burnett once again..
..but the kicker is that it features Elton john's full band this time...
with special guest long time percussionist ray cooper who played on many of Elton's albums in the 70's....the name of the album would be nice eh? >>>>Wonderful Crazy Night  is the album's name..
and all songs were co-written with the immortal Bernie taupin....
from what I heard of the first single this album will rock a bit more that the last albums...
more of Davey Johnstone's guitar work will be evident ...which is not a bad thing in my books..
till then go check out the first single "looking up" which I have posted here on my blog :)

cheers !
