Ever notice the 'helpful' vote is always heavy on the 'No' when a reviewer is disappointed?  This is the Elton album that breaks my heart--no, not in a good way.  In following such a strong album as Tumbleweed Connection, and in keeping the basic Gospel/Delta Blues/Appalachian-Roots vibe and musical style from that previous album going, one expected the grand slam that it should have been.  But, alas, we have a good album that hurts.
