Subject: Rocket Man gets onto Billboard Modern Rock chart!
To: love-hounds@eddie.mit.edu
This past week's issue of _Billboard_ (Nov. 9) lists: "Rocket Man" debuts at No. 24 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. _Two Rooms_ debuts at No. 28 on the Top Albums chart. (It's No. 5 and No. 2 at two local Tower Records stores.) There's a review of "Rocket Man": KATE BUSH Rocket Man (4:58) PRODUCER: Kate Bush WRITERS: E. John, B. Taupin PUBLISHER: not listed Polydor 589 (c/o PGD) (CD promo) Bush's high-pitched, chirping performance is a bit off-putting at first, but her gentle, heartfelt treatment of this Elton John classic does update it for alternative radio formats. Reggae-vibed beats and folky, stringed instrumentation definitely add a new twist to an old favorite. That's all it says. Ed ed@wente.llnl.gov
