Set for release by Universal in October, 2010, and produced by T Bone Burnett, The Union marks the culmination of a mutual musical adoration that began in the late 1960s, ahead of Elton's debut US performance in 1970 at The Troubadour Club in Los Angeles. The album is a collaboration between Elton and Leon Russell, with songs by Elton and Bernie Taupin; by Elton, Bernie and Leon; by Elton and Leon and by Leon alone.
The Union was recorded in Los Angeles earlier this year, with guest musicians including Brian Wilson, Booker T, Don Was and Neil Young. Cameron Crowe has filmed the sessions for a documentary, creating too a moment of history as this is the first time that the genesis of Elton's music has been recorded on film. Critics who have had an early preview of the album are united in praise for the work that Elton describes as a "Seventies record with a modern feel." read more..

Best in years by A Fan
Simply brilliant. Heard the album on NPR for a few weeks and then went and got it yesterday. Certainly Elton's best in years. His last great album was "Songs from the West Coast". But "The Union" is better. It is the best album this year. And it reminds you of the brilliant music of the 70's. Almost all the songs could be hits. And they would have been hits if they had been a decade ago. But what makes the album unique is that it is an "album". Everything comes together quite well. Elton and Leon are back -- and so is music. Will be remembered as a classic in a few years.
