自从\'92年打破猫王纪录，英国钢琴怪杰Elton John连续22年都有单曲入主Billboard单曲榜前40名，至今更缔造30年排行榜不缺席纪录，而出道至今全球唱片销售总数已逾1亿5千万张。

新世纪的首张大碟《Songs From The West Coast》（西岸之歌）大胆增添新意，这次Elton John仍旧和最懂他音乐的填词伙伴Bernie Taupin通力完成，并以全面同步收音的效果录制，让整张专辑十二轨统统听得到。开场曲“The Emperor\'s New Clothes”舍弃华丽编曲，以纯净的钢琴伴奏，领御整张专辑的风格，与他早期专辑Tumbleweed Connection、Madman Across the Water骨子里的精神如出一辙。另外，他特别学习Burt Bachrach及Hal David风格创作了“This Train Don\'t Stop There Anymore”；同时也有相当贴近时事脉动的作品，像首支录制的单曲“American Triangle”，即讲述怀俄明州一名同性恋年轻人惨遭谋杀的故事，以及如“Tiny Dancer”般旋律隽永的爱滋病悲歌“Ballad Of The Boy In The Red Shoes”等。

Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy is the ninth studio album by Elton John. The album is an autobiographical account of the early musical careers of Elton John (Captain Fantastic) and his long-term lyricist Bernie Taupin (the Brown Dirt Cowboy).

It's easy to rag on Elton John. A formerly great artist drifting aimlessly in a world content to pass him by, Britain's premier pantomime dame continues to gamely trot out the hits. He's gradually edging towards self-parody as the flamboyant knight of M.O.R. dinner-music, condemned to soundtracking occasional Disney movies and flouncing his way through Royal Mail ads. Indeed, amidst all the bitching and tales of diva-like behaviour, it's easy to forget that musically he's done little of note in the past 25 years - it's hardly a coincidence that the last decent tune he released (2003's rogue hit "Are You Ready For Love?") was a spruced-up 70s out-take.

The Captain & The Kid, written with his long-time writing partner, Bernie Taupin. More than 30 years after the release of their landmark #1 multi-platinum album, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, the duo returns with this sequel. The new album features 10 new songs reflecting the intimate lives and public times spanning the long-standing songwriting partnership of Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin. In fact, for the first time, both John and Taupin are featured on an Elton John album cover.

"The album is a celebration of our lives and our lifetimes, of our music and of the music we love. The Captain & The Kid continues our story. You can't look back, we're looking ahead," says John.

Created in the tradition of those fantastic records of the 60's and 70's, The Captain & The Kid is a celebration of when music was the most important voice of our culture and the album was its prime vehicle. Much like Elton's previous records Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across The Water, and Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy, The Captain & The Kid is an album meant to transport you back to that place in time when music mattered most. 35 plus years-later, Elton really has become Captain Fantastic and Bernie is most definitely The Brown Dirt Cowboy and they are as passionate about their music as they have ever been.

"I find the whole album to be so touching and beautiful for me because I've lived it," Elton added. "I lived it with Bernie and we've come through it. We've gone over the bridge and here we are at the other side."

The first single from the album, 'The Bridge" is one of 10 tracks which picks up where Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy left off. The album tells the story of Elton and Bernie from when they arrived in Los Angeles 30 years ago, through the ups and downs of their lives, to present day.

Leon Russell (born Claude Russell Bridges; April 2, 1942 – November 13, 2016) was an American musician and songwriter who was involved with numerous bestselling pop music records during his 60-year career.

在Surfaces的歌曲“Sunday Best”大获成功之后，这首歌迄今已拥有超过11亿的播放量，并一跃成为Billboard Emerging Artists chart（新兴艺人榜）的冠军。这对德克萨斯州二人组Surfaces如今与传奇音乐人Elton John联手推出了新歌《Learn to Fly》。歌曲由Surfaces制作，通过ZOOM录制，他们齐聚一起，希望能创作出一首帮助世界再次翱翔的歌曲。Elton John在歌曲中鼓励听众们“保持昂头，不要担心一切都会好起来”（“keep that head up, don’t you worry it will be alright”）。他的这句话语为所有想摆脱隔离犹豫感的人们提供了灵感。Elton John和Surfaces一同为我们“定心” - 通过齐心协力和正向积极的思考，人们可以安全地解除限制，并能重新打开世界。
