Watch: Little Big Town’s Reimagining of ‘Rocket Man’
The country superstars have shared the official music video for their version of Elton’s timeless classic.
The track is taken from the new album Restoration, which features some of the world’s biggest country artists celebrating Elton John’s most beloved and legendary catalogue of hits.
One of the main reasons why we chose Rocket Man was because we were so intrigued by not just of course, Elton John, but by using the sounds from the Juno project so we had all these Jupiter noises and we were like what if we did the acapella version of Rocket Man on the Elton record and Frank Liddell loved that idea and we were off to the races.
The superstar line‐up on Restoration features artists both new and iconic reinterpreting the timeless songs of the over 50‐year writing partnership that Elton and Bernie Taupin share. These renditions and artists show the depth of the catalogue these two icons have created, which can easily cross musical genres and their unparalleled influence across popular music of all styles.
Restoration highlights countries biggest stars with thoughtful interpretations by Dierks Bentley, Rosanne Cash and Emmylou Harris, Miley Cyrus, Vince Gill and Don Henley, Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson, Brothers Osborne, Chris Stapleton, Rhonda Vincent and Dolly Parton and Lee Ann Womack.
Because of our love of all kinds of music, we’re not stuck in one genre. From day one we borrowed from everything that’s good about American music – whether it’s blues, country, gospel, pop, pure rock – everything got thrown in the mix. I think that’s why our music over the years has been so varied. It would be tiring if you just got stuck in one niche your entire career, especially when it’s one as long as ours.
Restoration is accompanied by Revamp, which sees contemporary pop music’s biggest stars reinventing Elton and Bernie’s best-loved songs.
Both albums are available to pre-order on vinyl now from the Official Store.
