"A must for any ELTON JOHN fan, the cd issue I have is from SONY imports (JAPAN). The track listing is the same. This album was originally released in 1979. The song "DANCIN' SHOES" was the single that got air play in CANADA and had modest success on the charts. As a whole I really enjoy this cd, it is standard MOR of the day. There is a good cover of BILLY JOEL's "SAY GOODBYE TO HOLLYWOOD" and "CASSEY BLUE/AU REVOIR" could easily fit on any ELTON JOHN album. NIGEL has a great voice as any ELTON fan knows and he sat behind the kit for many great ELTON songs. There are many guest musicians which include....MIKE BAIRD, RAY COOPER, DAVID FOSTER, RICHIE ZITO and more. Produced by PAUL DAVIS and NIGEL OLSSON. The original title of the album was simply "NIGEL" and if you love ELTON you'll simply love this CD. Brian at ufo_rocks@hotmail.com"
