Release Notes:
--------
During last week's inaugural Brits Icon ceremony, Elton John discussed his keen
interest in new music, but his first solo album in seven years is an
emphatically conventional singer-songwriter set. Still, it's also a beauty.
Recorded in under two weeks with a core piano/bass/drums trio, The Diving Board
is a lovely union of craftsmanship and artistry. Bernie Taupin's lyrics are
among the most evocative he's written: just for starters, he attempts to convey
Oscar Wilde's thoughts on his release from prison (Oscar Wilde Gets Out), and
offers a glimpse behind the impassive countenance of a black pianist in the
American South (The Ballad of Blind Tom). John gives each song the space it
deserves, ruminating in a baritone that evokes golden autumn light. He also
revels in playing his piano; the delicate figures of Home Again communicate his
passion for the instrument as strongly as Mexican Vacation's bawdy barroom
tinkling. Meanwhile, his love of country and blues informs Can't Stay Alone
Tonight and Take This Dirty Water. It's an album that strikes a perfect blend of
maturity and freshness.
