  Tumbleweed Connection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tumbleweed Connection is the third album by British singer/songwriter Elton John, released in 1970 (see 1970 in music).
Tumbleweed Connection was culled from the same stockpile of songs from which the prior album had sprung, and named after lyrics for which Elton never got around to writing music.
Tumbleweed reflects Bernie's fascination with the old American West and South, and the tragedies and social strife brought on by the American Civil War.

Tumbleweed Connection, E.J.'s third album, released in the UK in October 1970 and the the US in January 1971, never really had any hits, but it doesn't matter.
Half the songs on "Tumbleweed Connection" are 4:59 or longer in life, which means the odds were long that they would ever be played on the radio.

 Halfbakery: Tumbleweed Dispenser
Within the cartridge, each flattened tumbleweed is layered with a thin tabbed plastic sheet that both separates the tumbleweeds and allows the dispenser to pluck just one (by grabbing a tab) from the cartridge and ready it for rolling.
Each tumbleweed is laced with a very fine denier monofilament webbing that allows the dispenser to pull the flattened tumbleweed out into its natural round shape just before release.
In a clever bit of engineering, the webbing has just enough elastic twang to propel the tumbleweed a short distance across a flat surface before the wind catches and carries it away in classic tumbleweed fashion.

Before Elton John had really hit the big time, he was hard at work honing his stunning song-writing skills, and was allowed to explore themes in depth, and Tumbleweed Connection is a prime example of both of these factors.
'Tumbleweed Connection', issued in late 1970, is the second in the series of three highly orchestrated, dramatic albums produced by Elton John just as his career was taking off in America and before he became well known in Britain.
Like the 'Madman' album which followed it, 'Tumbleweed' was very lavishly packaged originally, with numerous line drawings, and sepia photos of Elton and his co-writer Bernie Taupin and their musical associates, and most of this artwork is reproduced in this CD reissue.

Tumbleweed Connection is part of the early catalog of Elton John's work that Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose reportedly once said he would love to own the publishing rights to as a work of art.
Tumbleweed is characterized by John's balladeer approach, with John at his storyteller best on songs like "Burn Down the Mission." Even if the lyrics were generally written by Bernie Taupin, John's voice and inflection made every song seem deeply personal.
The beautiful "Come Down in Time" displays the subtleties and sophistication of his talent, with the piano not yet serving as the instrumental focal point it would later become.

Overall, Tumbleweed is more marked by a sense of rootsy Americana than the more sophisticated popcraft to come.
Most of the rhythm tracks are driven by little more than a rhythm section, twangy guitar and Elton's chunky piano (Exhibit A: "Amoreena").
