Elton Johns 24th studio album The One was originally released in 2004, and is the only album in his extensive and much-loved catalogue to be produced solely by him alone. The album packaging was designed by Gianni Versace. Taking in his love for R&B, country and Americana, it is a rootsy album, that continued the back-to-basics attitude of his preceding album Songs From The West Coast. It also marked the return of his legendary drummer Nigel Olsson, reunited with guitarist Davey Johnstone.
