Free Music Notes for Leon Russell
Free Music Review: CLASSICALLY BRILLIANT -- LEON SHINES!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Leon Russell is and has always been true to his music. Over his career he has played countless instruments including piano, keyboards, organ, harpsichord, trumpet, guitar, bass, synthesizer, and more. He has written a plethora of songs. And there are golden treasures found here.
One of the best known and perhaps most brilliant of his songs is "A Song For You". This was a big hit for the Carpenters in 1972. A big nod to Leon, it was also the name of their LP. Everyone from Bing Crosby to Joe Cocker to Willie Nelson to Nancy Wilson, plus a long list of famous names (I lost count after 70 artists) have recorded this one. Leon sings this one from the heart.
"Delta Lady" was huge on the charts for Joe Cocker in 1969. By that year, Leon Russell was also Joe Cocker's musical director. While not the only singer who has performed this stirring number, Joe performs this one with Leon on the "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" dvd. This song is included on many of Joe's cds and he sings it at every live concert appearance. Leon sings this one with passion.
"Hummingbird" is a rich blues song which blues giant B.B. King recorded a duet with the legendary and gifted Dionne Warwick. Leon sings this one deeply raw from his soul.
"Roll Away The Stone" is a rousing, honky-tonk song. From the opening with Leon on piano you had better fasten your seat belt! Leon sings this one with electrifying energy. (Go, Leon, Go!)
To say that music is Leon Russell's life would be an understatement. He lives, breathes, and feels the music in his very soul. Much more than a singer-songwriter, he has produced, arranged, and played a wide variety of instruments for a wide variety of musical artists.
Yet, sadly, his career has gone unnoticed by the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. And how can this be? He has worked with so many gifted people in the industry. From Sinatra to Streisand to Spector to Ike & Tina Turner to the Rolling Stones, Leon Russell is a talented man that knows no limits in his lyrics and in his music. Thankfully there is a crusade out there to get him inducted. And the more who join the crusade, the better!
One of his best albums ever recorded, don't leave this out of your collection of pop, rock, and blues. Bless you and thank you, Leon, for sharing your music with the world! (May you be deservedly inducted to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame soon.)
