The Songs Of Leon Russell
The name Leon Russell should evoke welcome memories for anyone who remembers the late '60s and early '70s when rock and soul seemed to be sprouting wings and flying in all directions. With his flowing grey mane, stovepipe hat and stellar piano playing, Russell cut an imposing presence leading Joe Cocker's 'Mad Dogs & Englishmen' circus as musical director, before stepping out on a solo career that went supernova in the first half of the '70s.
