Our Take

Elton John's "Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player" is a bonafide banger of an album, dripping with cheeky wit and charming melodies. From the infectious energy of tracks like "Crocodile Rock" to the heartfelt balladry of "Daniel," Sir Elton showcases his incredible versatility and undeniable talent throughout.

The album kicks off with the rollicking piano intro of "Daniel," instantly drawing listeners in with its catchy hooks and poignant storytelling. John's vocals are as powerful and emotive as ever, conveying a sense of yearning and vulnerability that is both relatable and utterly captivating.

Tracks like "Elderberry Wine" and "Have Mercy on the Criminal" show off John's prowess as a songwriter, with their complex arrangements and thought-provoking lyrics. The album's production is top-notch, with lush instrumentation and immaculate sound mixing that bring each song to life in glorious technicolor.

Despite its title, "Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player" is anything but a humble plea for mercy. It's a bold statement of artistic prowess and creative vision, solidifying Elton John's status as one of the greatest musical talents of our time. So grab your feather boas and oversized sunglasses, because this album is a wild ride you won't want to miss.
