ELTON JOHN / LEON RUSSELL - THE UNION - RELEASED 25TH OCTOBER
Mercury Records is proud to announce that on 25th October, Elton John will release the brand new studio album 'The Union', a collaboration with the legendary Leon Russell - the first time the pair have worked together since 1970.
But working with Russell isn't the only reunion on the album. It also sees Elton collaborate once again with his lifelong lyricist Bernie Taupin.
PRE-ORDER YOUR COPY NOW (Amazon):
The album draws on a wealth of genres from R&B to soul to gospel to country and pop and rock.
Icons Neil Young and Brian Wilson provide guest vocals alongside a 10-piece gospel choir.
"In the late '60s and early '70s, the one piano player and vocalist who influenced me more than anybody else was Leon Russell," John said. "He was my idol."
After years of being out of touch, John listened to Russell's music while on safari in Africa last summer and was inspired to reconnect with his idol. "Elton called to ask if I would do a duet album with him,'" Russell said. "I'm very happy that he chose me to do this."
