About the album

Honky Château is named for the 18th century French chateau where it was recorded, Château d'Hérouville. Released in 1972, it became his first American number one album and introduced the band sound built around Davey Johnstone, Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson. It's the home of "Rocket Man" and "Honky Cat," the opening track, a New Orleans funk number with a four-piece horn section arranged by producer Gus Dudgeon. Critically, it's regarded as one of his finest records.
