"Honky Cat" is a song from the 1972 Elton John album ''Honky Château,'' the album's lead-off track.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://music.yahoo.com/elton-john/tracks/honky-cat--7391765 )〕〔(AllMusic.com )〕 "Honky Cat" reached the ''Billboard'' top 10 when released as a single, but only reached #31 in Britain - and it is still a staple of "classic rock" radio. The song hit #8 on the U.S. charts, just as Elton John launched an American tour, in September 1972. The album title "Honky Chateau" is a reference to where it was recorded, the Château d'Hérouville, about 30 miles outside of Paris.〔''Rock Movers & Shakers'' by Dafydd Rees & Luke Crampton, 1991 Billboard Books.〕 A live version was released on the Here side of the ''Here and There'' live set in 1976 (and its expanded CD version in 1995), and a solo piano version appeared on the EltonJohn.com "Live in Madison Square Garden" Vol. 1 limited edition CD, recorded in October 1999. ==Personnel== * Jacques Bolognesi – trombone * Jean-Louis Chautemps – saxophone * Alain Hatot – saxophone * Elton John – electric piano, acoustic piano, vocals * Davey Johnstone – banjo * Ivan Julien – trumpet * Dee Murray – bass * Nigel Olsson – drums 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Honky Cat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
