Elton John Recruits Marc Ribot, Neil Young, & More for New Album
That quote is from Taupin’s official site, where John’s longtime lyricist provided an update on their forthcoming as-yet-untitled album with Leon Russell, one of rock’s unsung heroes. T Bone Burnett is producing the album with a backup band featuring the one and only Marc Ribot, drummer Jim Keltner, Jay Bellerose, Dennis Crouch, and Keefus Ciancia. Pretty exciting lineup so far, but wait, there’s more!
ABC News reports that Neil Young and Booker T. Jones are also among the album’s guests. Well played, Sir Elton.
Billy Joel might not be coming to Chicago this year, but Elton John is.

The tour is called “Rocket Man: The Greatest Hits Live” and features Davey Johnstone on guitar, Bob Birch on bass, John Mahon on percussion, Nigel Olsson on drums and Kim Bullard on keyboards.

Sir Elton John is working on an album with longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin that will feature guest spots from Neil Young and others.Sir Elton and Taupin are working with songwriter Leon Russell, and together the three have laid down 15 tracks for the album, according to an update on Taupin's website. Veteran producer T-Bone Burnett, recently in the news for his 'Crazy Heart' soundtrack accolades, is overseeing production of the recording sessions, as Taupin previously reported, and the trio is "about to start vocals and overdubs immediately."
The three have "cut fifteen songs ranging from Stones like rockers, Country tinged ballads, Gospel and even a Sinatra like weepy similar to something torn from the grooves of 'In the Wee Small Hours.'"
Taupin adds that the album is "varied in scope and drenched in a rich tapestry of atmospherics. Don't expect to hear the old EJ/BT sound; this is organic recording unlike anything you've heard from our duo before."
ABC News reports that Young and Booker T Jones will be featured on the album. The trio has also recruited guitarist Marc Ribot, bassist Dennis Crouch, and drummers Jim Keltner and Jay Bellerose, with more collaborations to come.
