Leon Russell


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?

His cover of Beware of Darkness by George Harrison was exceptional IMO. Great to listen to George's version and then Leon's back to back.
A friend and I hitch-hiked over 100 miles to see him perform in Madison, Wisconsin, in the early '70s. I was 16 or 17 years old. No problem getting there, or back. One of the best concerts I attended. "Carney" is my favorite too.
Yeah, Carney was a favorite of mine as well. Haven't listened to it in 30 years though.
