It means that our music is still relevant and ultimately that our songs continue to reach new audiences. We're humbled and thank them all for their generosity.”  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Because of our love of all kinds of music, we’re not stuck in one genre,” said Bernie Taupin. “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.” The album art for \u003ci\u003eRestoration \u003c\/i\u003ewas created by Bernie. The rustic musical instruments and flags from both nations is an extension of his mixed-media art that’s another form of expression. It symbolizes the role that U.S. culture and its native music has played as a driver in the John\/Taupin canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“For me, there’s an irony about the American flag,” Taupin says. “It’s been battered and beaten and burned, but it’s resilient. It’s always come back. I incorporate it with other things, and lately I’ve done a lot of pieces with deconstructed guitars and other found materials: barbed wire, broken bottles, things that people identify with on an everyday level.  If it’s on the floor and it works, I’ll put it into the artwork. But it all goes hand in hand with my belief in America and my interest, I would say obsession, with Americana.”  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eExcluded from sitewide sales\/discounts.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elton John Restoration Red \/ Various","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53863444611409,"sku":"602567676089.0","price":3.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/6721\/3905\/files\/restoration_2xlp_26x14_red-small_1_700x700_da425c59-8f43-48fd-9958-d7cbc9cbb23b.png?v=1779782246","url":"https:\/\/vinylgroove.shop\/products\/reimagining-the-songs-of-elton-john-and-bernie-taupin-limited-edition","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
