Leon Russell Artist Snapshot:

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.

Review

Musician (3/96, p.90) - "...Much of SHELTER PEOPLE rocks, most of it captures the hair-raising power of his shows back then..."

Leon Russell's second album, LEON RUSSELL & THE SHELTER PEOPLE, has the feel of a rollicking road show. In fact, many of the players who appear here had been out on the road under Russell's direction as Joe Cocker's backing band, Mad Dogs & Englishmen (a fact chronicled on this album in "The Ballad of Mad Dogs and Englishmen"). The original album was made up of eight Russell originals, two Bob Dylan covers, and a song by George Harrison (an incredible version of "Beware of Darkness"). This CD reissue has been extended to include three additional Dylan covers. The variety--country, gospel, blues, soul, and rock & roll--is seamlessly woven together by Russell's good-natured Oklahoma twang. The set is paced to move and groove listeners in a way that is reminiscent of an old fashioned revue. In addition, LEON RUSSELL & THE SHELTER PEOPLE is anchored by some of the finest rhythm sections, soloists, and chorus singers of the time.
