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?

Did lots of studio work for others before branching out solo. Yea, he's great. Listen to "Leon and the Shelter People". It's the joint.

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.

Saw him most recently at the House of Blues New Orleans. Joe Cocker Mad Dogs and Englishmen is a all star line up including Leon. My favorite is self titled Leon Russell
