Cover VG+.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElton John became a true superstar with 1972's Honky Chateau. He followed that album with Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player, his most direct, pop-oriented album to date. Designed as a pastiche of classic and contemporary pop styles, the album almost sounds like an attempt to demonstrate the diversity of the John\/Taupin team. Though the hits are remarkable -- \"Daniel\" is a moving ballad and \"Crocodile Rock\" is a sly take on '50s rock \u0026amp; roll -- the album is slightly uneven. Several of the album tracks, particularly the knowing \"I'm Gonna Be a Teenage Idol\" and the rocking \"Elderberry Wine,\" are as strong as anything John had recorded, but there are too many melodies that simply don't catch hold. Nevertheless, the singles were strong enough to keep the album at the top of the charts, and at its best, it is a very enjoyable piece of well-crafted pop\/rock.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elton_John\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elton_John\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Daniel 3:52\u003cbr\u003eA2 Teacher I Need You 4:08\u003cbr\u003eA3 Elderberry Wine 3:34\u003cbr\u003eA4 Blues For My Baby And Me 5:38\u003cbr\u003eA5 Midnight Creeper 3:53\u003cbr\u003eB1 Have Mercy On The Criminal 5:55\u003cbr\u003eB2 I'm Going To Be A Teenage Idol 3:55\u003cbr\u003eB3 Texan Love Song 3:33\u003cbr\u003eB4 Crocodile Rock 3:56\u003cbr\u003eB5 High Flying Bird 4:10\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DJM Records","offers":[{"title":"UK","offer_id":1020447813,"sku":"DJLPH 427","price":45.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false},{"title":"Scandinavia (NM\/VG+)","offer_id":37720213249,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/2072\/products\/R-778105-1157793383.jpeg?v=1571439141","url":"https:\/\/recordpusher.live\/products\/elton-john-dont-shoot-me-im-only-the-piano-player","provider":"RecordPusher - International Vinyl Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
