Review by Natty Peson

Pinball Wizard is an album by the renowned British musician Elton John. Released in 1976, the album is a tribute to the iconic rock opera, Tommy, by The Who. The album features ten tracks, all of which showcase John's exceptional musicianship and vocal prowess.

The album opens with the title track, "Pinball Wizard," which is a cover of The Who's classic hit. John's version features a more upbeat tempo and showcases his unique vocals. The album also features other covers of The Who's songs, such as "I'm Free" and "Tommy Can You Hear Me."

The album's original tracks are equally impressive. "Tell Me When the Whistle Blows" is a standout track, featuring John's signature piano playing and emotive vocals. "Sally and Billy" is another highlight, with its catchy chorus and infectious melody.
