The Union by Elton John and Leon Russell Elton has already described this musical collaboration


with Leon Russell as a “Seventies record with a modern feel.” The combination of these two musical powerhous- es is a special one and with contributing musicians such as Brian Wilson, Booker T and Neil Young, it’s a sure bet that quality is of the utmost. Fourteen songs make up The Union with compositions created by Leon and Elton, Elton and Bernie Taupin and Elton John alone. The tone of the CD is a combination of Rock, Country, Gospel and R&B for this very first time now as artists performing


together.Available on October 19


In and Out of Consciousness – The Greatest Hits 1990-2010 by Robbie Williams


Robbie Williams deserves to step back


and savor his career so far. With seven number one UK albums, the fact is that he is the biggest-selling solo artist in UK history. Of note for this 39-song set of his music is that he reunites with former bandmate Gary Barlow from Take That. Their brand new single is called “Shame” and check the video out as the two men share a fun little bromance filled with double entendres…but we all know Robbie is the “happiest man alive” now in his new marriage!
