	Leon Russell - Carney
		There is none of the cloying quality in Russell's voice and phrasing that somewhat marred his delicate "A Song For You," which was on the first solo album and is the most poignant lyric he has penned to date.
		became Russell's highest charting album with the aid of the oddball #11 hit "Tightrope." Also included is "This Masquerade," a song that later became an international hit for George Benson.
		Leon's marble-mouthed, drawling vocals are a joy throughout, which comes as quite a treat to one who thoroughly detested much of his previous caterwauling (such as his Godawful mistreatment of George Harrison's "Beware Of Darkness").

	Leon Russell - Reviews on RateItAll
		Three of Leon's solo albums, 1971's Leon Russell and The Shelter People, 1972's Carney (which went to number two on the pop album chart), and 1973's three album set Leon Live were certified gold.
		Leon Russell is probably the most underappreciated and most anonymous big shot in the entire music industry, and it is high time that he got the respect that he is due.
		Russell, who has worked in every genre of music for almost six decades, is one of the most prolific studio musicians, songwriters and record producers in the world.

		Robert Christgau: CG: Leon Russell & Marc Benno
		If the first one was their acid album this 1969 session is their protest album, beginning and ending with advice to a "straight brother" and featuring a revised "Sweet Home Chicago" (for Mayor Daley and his "northern rednecks"), a soppy antiwar song, a scabrous antiwar song, and a confusing anti-smoking song.
		As well as four love songs that will never make Merv Griffin, one because it advocates "eating salty candy." B

	Tower Records - Carney - Leon Russell
		Leon Russell's third album marked a change in direction.
		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.

	Leon Russell & The Shelter People by Leon Russell CD
		Leon Russell's second album, LEON RUSSELL & THE SHELTER PEOPLE, has the feel of a rollicking road show.
		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 is the Leon Russell cd that is number 1 in my book.

	Rock Ahead: DVD Album - Leon Russell - A Song For You
		Leon Russell although having the respect of his peers has sadly never broken through to the massive success he so richly deserves and watching the performances here it's hard to see why this hasn't happened as far lesser talents have certainly made a lot less go a lot further.
		Leon Russell's career has spanned 50 years and is still going strong.
		In my own humble opinion Leon Russell should be up there with some of the people he has worked with over the years.

	Leon Russel
		Leon Russell has been described as one of rock's most influential forces: a veritable musician's musician who has repeatedly demonstrated his abilities as an outstanding performing artist and songwriter.
		Despite the fact Leon Russell's career has spanned three generations of rock music and has begun a fourth, he continues to remain as reclusive and mysterious as ever.
		A towering figure in rock music that emerged in the late Sixties, Russell's debut album boasted session credits by ex-Beatles and Dominoes, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones and other "rock luminaries", while his "live" roadshows have been some of the finest in the history of rock music.

	Country Standard Time: CD Review Leon Russell
		Even if Leon Russell had not established himself as an acclaimed recording artist, his reputation as a session man would have ensured his status as a legend.
		A priceless hidden track features Russell and fellow legend Harold Bradley (who served as Russell's production assistant and band leader) reminiscing about glory days of session work with the likes of Elvis and Patsy, as well as insights into the making of this album.
		Russell's raspy voice is effective, particularly on the ballads, and the arrangements are both fresh and traditional.

	Amazon.com: Leon Russell - A Song for You: DVD
		Leon Russell "A Song For You" is a treasure chest of 25 Russell classics that captures the rock legend from early on in his solo career with the shelter people to the present.
		Granted there is some very nice footage of Leon and the "Shelter People" in a TV studio playing songs from his first solo album, but there isn't nearly enough film of Leon and his full band in a true concert setting.
		If you are a Leon Russell fan, I strongly urge you to purchase this musical extravaganza and enjoy the master of space and time like never before.

	Leon Russell: life and works
		Leon Russell montou uma gravadora, a Paradise Records, em 1976 e lançou dois trabalhos com a sua então companheira Mary McCreary: The Wedding album (1976) e Make love to the music (1977).
		Cantor, guitarrista, tecladista, compositor e produtor, Leon Russell ostenta uma aparência que se torna cada vez mais exótica e talvez sinistra, com cabelos prateados até os ombros e um olhar fixo e penetrante, fazendo com que o título "Mestre do espaço e do tempo", lhe caia tão bem.

		For another thing, the album was the super-session album to end all super-sessions at a time when people had finally gotten suspicious of the whole concept.
		"Sweet Emily" is the album's semi-country tune, with a melody and chord progression taken straight away from "A Song for You" and "Hummingbird," and it is a bore.
		The fun, as well as the depth, of the first album are gone leaving me with a feeling of perfunctoriness about the work.

		Amazingly, unlike those peers, for the most part he did not cross over to widespread pop appeal, a situation that finally began to change at the end of the '80s...

		This album is filled with mostly mid-tempo blues numbers featuring the piano (and some guitar) work by Leon Russell.
		As the album progresses, it becomes pretty obvious that Freddie King and his Les Paul guitar are great, but the songs are of middlin' quality and originality.
		All songs on this album were written by other performers.

	Nashville sound: Dixie Chicks
		Black's album has guest appearances by Waylon Jennings, Eric Idle, Edgar Winter, Kenny Loggins and Bruce Hornsby, and the songs are a grab bag of Black originals, old classics by heroes like Jennings, Toy Caldwell and Leon Russell, and three remakes of old Black hits.
		The Dixie Chicks and Clint Black are leading a small group of country music artists who are stretching the boundaries of the modern mainstream country album.
		The album Fly by the Dixie Chicks features plenty of the soaring harmonies and energetic music that worked so well on their 1998 breakthrough album, Wide Open Spaces.

		Not to be confused with the hugely successful “This Masquerade” by Leon Russell on the “Breezin” album from 1976, this cut shares the fact that George puts down his axe for a while and sings.
		This "bootleg" album showcases some of the greatest jam session guitar playing I've ever heard.
		This “luxury” is due to the fact that the album was recorded live at the Case Caribe Club in Plainfield, N.J. I’m not sure who recorded it but the quality is tremendous.
