Hollywood, CA (February 12, 2014)—Fall Out Boy dropped in at Ocean Way studios to record “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting,” their contribution to the Elton John 40th Anniversary tribute album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Nathaniel Kunkel engineered with producer Peter Asher, who also joined in on the chorus vocals.

The album will be entitled Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Asher, the long-time producer of Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor, is also producing the re-mastered reissue of the original classic set.
