Release Notes:
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.
