Elton John and Leon Russel:
On the inaugural episode of Elvis Costello†s talk show Spectacle in 2008, Elton John -- who just happened to be a producer on the show -- rhapsodized at length about Leon Russell, hauling out a note-perfect impression of Russell†s piano style and Oklahoma drawl. It was enough of a tease to whet the appetite for more but nothing suggested something like The Union, a full-fledged duet album with Russell designed to raise the profile of the rock & roll maverick. Like all lifers, Russell never disappeared -- he just faded, playing small clubs throughout the U.S., spitting out bewildering self-released albums of MIDI-synth boogie, never quite connecting with the spirit of his wonderful early-†70s albums for his Shelter label. The Union quite deliberately evokes the spirit of 1970, splicing Russell†s terrific eponymous LP with Elton†s own self-titled record and Tumbleweed Connection. In that sense, it†s a kissing cousin to John†s last album, 2006†s The Captain and the Kid, which was designed as an explicit sequel to 1975†s golden era-capping Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, but thanks to producer T-Bone Burnett, The Union dials down Bernie Taupin†s inherent pomp and ratchets up the roots.
