Leon Russell is one of the most esteemed studio session men in rock history, having appeared on an eye-popping number of records by legends such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Bobby Darin, Phil Spector, Frank Sinatra, the Byrds, and the Beach Boys. Russell's solo work benefited from his amazing rolodex, as the likes of George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, various Rolling Stones, and others have helped Russell put the finishing touches on his albums through the years. Creating an amiable blend of Southern soul, gospel, and piano-man singer-songwriter stylings, Russell continued to record and perform into the new millennium.

Leon Russell Artist Snapshot:Product Description
Run a Quick Search on "Carney" by Leon Russell to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "Carney"Browse more products related to "Leon Russell"Title NoteLeon Russell's third album marked a change in direction. His first two releases were a sort of high-spirited revue, with numerous players and gospel-influenced backup singers. Where his self-titled debut and its follow-up (AND THE SHELTER PEOPLE) wedded blues, r&b, rock & roll, country and other genres, CARNEY is a pared-down setting of equally well-endowed songs that make their mark in a much quieter manner. Russell's first two albums had been veritable celebrations, but CARNEY sounds more introspective. Some of Russell's most loved songs made their first appearance here, including the often-covered "Tight Rope" and "This Masquerade." Russell stayed introspective on his subsequent release WILL O' THE WISP, but CARNEY remains one of his very finest efforts. The gorgeous songs and subtle arrangements make for a wonderfully sustained album experience.
