On my Honeymoon I should have played Highway to Hell. It began right there......
Honeymoon music. This album was all over the radio when my wife and I got married in April 1971. Here we are still going strong almost 52 years later. This album never gets old for us.
We had a small portable cassette tape recorder that sat up on the dash of our 1966 Dodge Valiant while we drove from Buffalo, NY to San Diego, CA. That cassette deck and cassette tape are long gone, but the music will still make us stop and listen.

I love this album I’ve been an Elton from just after he got famous.
I just realized it - this song sounds exactly like a John Denver song! Both voice and lyrics.

'Elton John' was the first album to make a splash. Technically his first album was 'Empty Sky'. It is, uh, interesting.

Pretty good twang for a Brit!
I love this song.
I love this song.

Did Rod Stewart do a cover of this ?

Were Elton and Bernie influenced by John Denver on this piece?
Country Roads was a year or so later... so maybe VV? co-emergence

Not overly played with a little twang.

You are right. Not his 1st album; just the 1st that I found captivating. Thanks!

Love this album -- half the songs are incredible and half the songs are crap, but with strategic skipping, it's my favorite.
Puts RP Elton comfort in my bones

Left the Oregon farm in 1970 for college. Bought this album back then and still play it every few years. Thanks Bill.
Checked this album out of the library when I was younger and I fell in love with The Brown Dirt Cowboy.
RP misstates that this "Country Comfort" has only been played once (1) over the past 30 days. WRONG!
It has been 2 times in the past week!
LIAR!

You DO know that EJ is doing a 3 year farewell tour? Sure to be coming to a town near you. Even in NZ.
I caught a re-run of the BRIT award to EJ the other night.
This is as close as I'll ever get to seeing EJ perform live, and thought he was brilliant. The host on the other hand... cringe. Funny thing is I thought at the time that I'd been watching that actor in Black Sails, and he was "better than this." haha on me. Google tells me Dermot O'Leary was that host. And Black Sails' Billy is Tom Hopper. Separated at birth. Is it only me?
