Island Records/Universal Music Group NashvilleCome Friday, if you want to find out the story behind the making of the new Elton John tribute albums Revamp and Restoration, all you’ll need do is ask Alexa.
Elton has teamed with Amazon Music for The Soundboard with Elton John, described as an “immersive original audio program” which will feature conversations with Elton, his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin, and some of the artists who contributed to Revamp and Restoration.
You can access the program by visiting AmazonMusic.com/EltonJohn starting at midnight Friday. Whenever you tune in, you’ll join the stream in-progress and hear Elton, Bernie and the stars featured on the album talk about reinterpreting these timeless hits. You’ll notice Chris Stapleton is featured on The Soundboard‘s main page.
Revamp features pop and rock acts covering classic Elton tunes, while country stars step into the spotlight on Restoration, including Little Big Town, Dierks Bentley, Vince Gill and Don Henley, Lee Ann Womack, Chris Stapleton, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Maren Morris, Brothers Osborne, Miranda Lambert and others.
Don’t want to sit in front of a computer? Then you can simply say, “Alexa, play The Soundboard with Elton John.”
Elton said in a statement, “It’s been wonderful working with Amazon Music to bring our stories behind the new songs to life and I hope fans will enjoy listening to The Soundboard as much as we did recording it.”
Other acts featured on Revamp and Restoration include Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Alessia Cara, Pink, and more. Both albums arrive Friday, April 6.
