ABOUT THE RECORD Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Albums chart, the first album ever to do so, and stayed there for seven weeks. It was certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA. This was the last album until Too Low For Zero that Elton John and his classic band would play together. Written, according to lyricist Bernie Taupin, in chronological order, Captain Fantastic is a concept album that gives an autobiographical glimpse at the struggles John (Captain Fantastic) and Taupin (the Brown Dirt Cowboy) had in the early years of their musical careers (from 1967 to 1969). The lyrics and accompanying photo booklet are infused with a specific sense of place and time. Someone Saved My Life Tonight, the only single released from the album (and a No. 4 hit on the Billboard Hot 100), is a semi-autobiographical story about John's disastrous engagement to Linda Woodrow, and his related suicide attempt. The "Someone" refers to Long John Baldry, who convinced him to break off the engagement rather than ruin his music career for an unhappy marriage.
