'Elton John / Greatest Hits, Volume IV (2009)'!
Finally, after 20 years, an official review of the work of Elton John, his band featuring the likes of Davey Johnstone, Nigel Olsen & Guy Babylon, and the songwriting prowess of Bernie Taupin from the years 1988-2008! This collection combines for the first time all of Elton's Hits starting with 1988's 'Reg Strikes Back' to his most recent release, 2008's 'The Red Piano - Live'! 'Greatest Hits, Volume IV' carries on the tradition started back in 1974 with 'Greatest Hits' of compiling Elton's great body of work together on one nice CD, one small place for all to enjoy! From 'Sacrifice' to 'The Captain & The Kid', and, of course, the memorable, touching redeux of 'Candle In The Wind' from 1997 for the everescent personality, the late, great Princess Diana. So, enjoy Sir Elton 'Hercules' John as he rocks and swoons us into submission for one more great time, 'Greatest Hits, Volume IV'! - Rick Wilson, former Rock Radio Journalist with Radio Canale Grandé.
