With The Big Picture Elton John delivers one of his best records in years. Bernie Taupin, with whom he collaborated for thirty years in 1997, was again responsible for the text contributions, while Elton again wrote the music as usual. The record, which was recorded in London, contains eleven strong pop songs including the single The Way You Look Tonight and potential single candidates such as Long
… Way From Happiness, Recover Your Soul and January. Live Like Horses Elton John previously recorded with opera star Luciano Pavarotti and can be heard in a solo version on this CD. Contributors included Paul Carrack (organ on The Way You Look Tonight) and the East London Gospel Choir (If The River Can Bend). The Diana version of Candle In The Wind is missing from this CD.
