Review - :
Although he had made a number of re-recordings of popular songs for a budget record label in the late '60s, {^Empty Sky} was the first true solo album {$Elton John} recorded after leaving Bluesology; it also marked the beginning of his long and fruitful collaboration with lyricist {$Bernie Taupin}. {^Empty Sky} is quite indicative of the post-{^Sgt. Pepper} era. With its ambitious arrangements and lyrics, it's clear that {$John} and {$Taupin} intended the album to be a major statement. Though it shows some signs of {$John}'s {\R&B} roots, most of the album alternates between vaguely psychedelic {\rock} and burgeoning {\pop} songcraft, capped off by a bizarre reprise of brief moments of all of the songs on the record. There aren't any forgotten gems on {^Empty Sky}, but it does suggest {$John}'s potential. [The CD reissue includes the bonus tracks {&"Lady Samantha,"} {&"All Across the Havens,"} {&"It's Me That You Need,"} and {&"Just Like Strange Rain."}] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
