Songs From The West Coast
2017 2LP 180gm original in shrink. Remastered from the original tapes previously unreleased on vinyl. Includes poster and inner sleeves. Elton John plays Yamaha pianos. Features special guest Stevie Wonder, Rufus Wainwright and Billy Preston. "Songs from the West Coast" is the twenty-sixth studio album by Elton John, released on October 1, 2001. The album marked a return to his classic 1970s sound, both in musical style and in collaboration with longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin. Featuring a blend of pop rock and soft rock, the album includes notable tracks such as "I Want Love," which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Male Vocal Performance, as well as "This Train Don't Stop There Anymore" and "Original Sin." The production was helmed by Patrick Leonard, known for his work with Madonna, and the album also boasts contributions from musicians like Rufus Wainwright and Stevie Wonder.

Critically, "Songs from the West Coast" was well-received, praised for its honest and reflective lyrics alongside Elton John's expressive piano work. The album was seen as a return to form, reconnecting with the emotional depth and musicality that characterized Elton John's earlier works. The retrospective and contemplative nature of the lyrics, combined with the stripped-back production, made it a standout release in John’s extensive discography.
