Pierwszymi dźwiękami, jakie słychać na "Songs From The West Coast" są dźwięki fortepianu. A potem głos, którego nie sposób pomylić z żadnym innym. W ten sam sposób dał się poznać światu z nagraniem "Your Song". Dziś powraca, prezentując to co potrafi najlepiej - niezapomniane melodie wyśpiewane w wyjątkowy sposób... To legendarny Elton John. Pierwszy premierowy album Eltona w XXI wieku z pewnością wejdzie do grona jego klasycznych dzieł.
