Songs From The West Coast

Elton John’s 28th studio album, Songs From the West Coast, includes three singles, Original Sin, This Train Don't Stop There Anymore, and I Want Love, the last of which was nominated for a 2002 Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. The album, which evokes some of Elton’s 1970s material, reunited him with Grammy-winning arranger Paul Buckmaster and reached No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 15 on the Billboard Top 200. It was re-issued in 2002 with additional material.
