26. Songs from the West Coast (2001) Album Review

In a few episodes' time, this pod won't stop here anymore, as Dominic & Anthony will have reviewed every Elton John solo studio album. But for now, they're reviewing Elton's 26th effort: Songs from the West Coast. Is this one a dark diamond, or should it be consigned to the wasteland?

****************

Welcome to Elton v Elton: The Album Battle! This is the podcast where two pals (Anthony & Dominic) & Elton fans rage over which of Elton's albums we think is the best. We'll be keeping score as we go, as we delve into each of Elton's solo studio albums, discussing the tracks individually, the musicians involved, the album art, random trivia, cover versions & anything else in between!  We'd love to hear from you with your ratings, opinions and any other insights into Elton's work you have. Drop us an email via eltonveltonpod@gmail.com
