Apr 9, 2018The artists take risks, and they--and the songbook--come out sounding the better for it.
-
Apr 6, 2018The Nashville-based disc is not just more focused on a style and a subset of artists but leans toward the more expressly singer-songwriter-type material John was recording in the early ’70s, under the influence of his roots-loving collaborator.
-
Apr 6, 2018It's a revelation. Tyros (Maren Morris) and legends (Dolly Parton) mine deep cuts to reveal in John's songs a very country strain of stoic melancholy. Miranda Lambert delivers a stormy "My Father's Gun"; Don Henley and Vince Gill wring pathos from the divorce lament "Sacrifice."
-
May 3, 2018Elton John has always has a country streak to his songs, and most of the choices on this compilation fit this repurposing like a hand in glove.
-
Apr 6, 2018Overall this is, perhaps not surprisingly, a mixed bag with enough impressive, even stirring moments to make it a moderately recommended listen, albeit one that too seldom validates its intent of bringing homespun country grit to the John/Taupin songbook.

Jun 2, 2018Simplesmente perfeito, tudo deu certo ao contrário do Revamp. Cada faixa soa como algo novo e pessoal do artista e não como um cover.
