#ELTON JOHN ALBUM COVER PEACHTREE ROAD DOWNLOAD#

While the sound of the record is bright and polished, this album makes few concessions to radio: this is certainly adult pop, but it never panders to adult contemporary radio, and the music is a little too rugged and sturdy to fit alongside the stubbornly sweet sounds of 21st century MOR. This means Peachtree Road is about craft, both in the writing and recording, which also means that it's a grower, with each song sounding stronger, better with each spin.

Since this is an album by a veteran, not an artist on the rise, it doesn't have the sense of discovery, or the hunger, that the early records still retain, and the production - the first self-production by John with no collaborators - is a little cleaner and crisper than the rich, warm sound of the late Gus Dudgeon (to whom this record is dedicated), who helmed such masterworks as Tumbleweed Connection. John wasn't merely doing publicity: Peachtree Road proves that he's back to making good, solid records focused on songs, not hits, the way he did at the outset of his career. Not that the lack of sales greatly bothered Elton - in many interviews, including one with Entertainment Weekly the week before Peachtree Road was released in November 2004, he claimed he was 'disappointed' that it just barely went gold, but he was tired of making 'uneven' records. Buy the album Starting at $20.59Д®lton John returned to the sound and aesthetic of his classic early-'70s work with 2001's Songs From the West Coast, finding critical acclaim, if not much commercial success.
