LEON RUSSELL "carney" cd,1972.
thought i'd check out some vintage Leon after i loved his work with Elton a couple of years ago, and man,this guy is a living breathing genius if that album and this one are anything to go by...
great writer,pianist,vocalist IMO...i know Elton claims him to be a major influence on his career, and after hearing this one a couple of times now, its easy to see why.
this album is as good as anything ive ever heard from that early 1970s period of music and without that stupid instrumental and the short little interlude of the title track this would without doubt get a love rating here today...
guessing im now going to seek out more of Leon's material...darn it, with him and Jethro Tull im going to be busy over the next year or so!
