This 1991 covers album is not available on streaming services, so if you click on the sleeve, it will take you to a YouTube playlist of the songs. Though there have been more recent albums reimagining John/Taupin compositions (search for Revamp and Restoration), Two Rooms is near and dear to my heart because it was released while I was in college and I really like the all star cast performing the covers. While not all of the tracks work for me (and some are downright unlistenable), there are a few gems here worth checking out:  ‘Rocket Man,’ ‘Come Down in Time,’ ‘Sacrifice’ and ‘Burn Down the Mission’ by Kate Bush, Sting, Sinead O’Connor and Phil Collins, respectively, just to name a few.
