I've just been listening to "Carney". It's a favorite album of mine because of the sensitivity and genius of Leon Russell. Does anybody else feel the same about him?
I'm a huge Leon fan. Some of his best work was with Delaney & Bonnie, give a listen to "Motel Shot". Otherwise, "Carney" & "Leon Live" rate my favorites.
Yep, always had a soft spot for Leon. He still gets up to my area once a year for a show (Kent State Univ. - Ohio). This Masquerade, still gets me. EMI-Capitol put out a half way decent budget Best Of cd.
A sadly underappreciated artist. Goes back a LONG way. Did lots of studio work for others before branching out solo. Yea, he's great.
Amen to that. Sold my lp collection two years ago with five or six Leon Russell albums. Never replaced them; threads like this give me reason to regret. I do have the double Best Of cd from EMI though. Unfortunately the sound is not wonderful.
