Comment:

Elton John's work has covered the entire spectrum of pop music, so it's no wonder why artists of every type have stepped up to cover him. Leather-lunged Roger Daltrey leads The Who into a bare-knuckle rave-up of "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)," returning the favor that Elton extended in his cover of their "Pinball Wizard." Bettye LaVette wrings out a hankie full o' soul in the late-night desolation of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me," her voice cracking as she traces the emotional scar tissue crisscrossing her wounded heart. And if you thought it was only the old-timers who dipped into Elton John's songbook, check out My Morning Jacket's reverb-laden, dream-pop take on "Rocket Man." But don't stop there; from Tina Turner to Matisyahu, the artists you love most love Elton just as much. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery . . .
