My favorite track on the new Elton John album is called “England and America.” It’s a totally original melody, the rocking drives straight forward, and Elton’s vocal is especially good. His new album “Wonderful Crazy Night” is just out. The label is pushing a couple of other tracks, but this is the best one, I think. I also like the title track and “Looking Up.” But this is a single. If only there were a radio station to play it on.
