Elton John will release his 33rd studio album, Wonderful Crazy Night, worldwide on February 5, 2016.
The album was co-produced by Elton and T-Bone Burnett and reconvenes Elton’s core band of drummer Nigel Olsson, from his original three-piece group, and guitarist Davey Johnstone, with whom he first worked in 1971. They are joined by bassist Matt Bissonette, keyboard player Kim Bullard and percussionist John Mahon. Five tracks feature another time-honored associate, percussionist Ray Cooper.
Wonderful Crazy Night also marks the continuation of Elton’s incredible, inexhaustible songwriting partnership with Bernie Taupin. These outstanding and evocative new co-writes represent the latest fruits of a friendship that now dates back 48 years.
