A return to the piano-bass-drums construction of Elton’s early years, The Diving Board evokes memories of the ground-breaking albums that established him in the early 1970s. As on those formative albums, these new John-Taupin creations have echoes of the gospel, blues and country of the great American outdoors that always inspired them.
Produced by T-Bone Burnett, and featuring a crack team of musicians – Doyle Bramhall, Raphael Saadiq on bass, Keefus Ciancia, Jay Bellerose and Jack Ashford.
- Deluxe CD with 19 tracks.
- 3 bonus new live tracks from Eltons performance at the Capitol Studios in Hollywood.
- 1 bonus studio track from The Diving Board sessions.
