Tumbleweed Connection is part of the early catalog of Elton Johns work that Guns N Roses singer Axl Rose reportedly once said he would love to own the publishing rights to as a work of art. Indeed, it does contain some of Johns most expressive work as an artist, but with the showy stage presence and pop melodicism still under construction. Tumbleweed is characterized by Johns balladeer approach, with John at his storyteller best on songs like "Burn Down the Mission." Even if the lyrics were generally written by Bernie Taupin, Johns voice and inflection made every song seem deeply personal. The beautiful "Come Down in Time" displays the subtleties and sophistication of his talent, with the piano not yet serving as the instrumental focal point it would later become. The album also features the favorite "Ballad of a Well-Known Gun" and "Where to Now St. Peter?" --Steve Gdula

Great melodies, great piano, tight band, good lyrics. If "Burn Down the Mission" was two minutes shorter this would be a five star album. This was his most cohesive album what followed was an unbelievable outpouring of hit singles.
A Must Have

I have numerous compilations in my music library and this has gotten the most wear. As a being who has grown up through the 60s and 70s world of amazing music, this is a must have for anyone who appreciates the finer aspects of music.This is so much better than his pop radio hits. Just listen.
One great album

This album may not have been well known, but it is an excellent record. I dont think any of the songs were hits, but the album is excellent. I highly recommend it.

Elton John has had MANY classic albums over the years, and thats why people remember him as the top 5 musicians of the 70s. The early days were really good too.
While the western/country pop rock style of Elton John is one of the main things people note about Tumbleweed Connection, it should also be noted that despite sounding different from the pop rock commercial phase of Elton Johns career (starting with the "Dont Shoot Me Im Only the Piano Player" album) his typical style of piano pop on Tumbleweed Connection isnt really any different from any other song youve heard by Elton John. It just sounds different with the western influences. The songs are still written the same way as usual.
So basically what Im trying to say is even though the album has a western vibe, it still falls in the same category of singer-songwriter and the songs really arent constructed any differently from that of say "Dont Let the Sun Go Down on Me".
However, the quality of the music is REALLY high, and that makes the album a classic.
