Editorial Reviews

This 1971 gem shot to #17; fantastic musicianship abounds across these rock 'n' roll songs full of gospel and soul. Leon's Home Sweet Oklahoma and the Ballad of Mad Dogs and Englishmen join his takes on Dylan and Harrison!

Excellent, April 26, 2004By R. C. Schmults "rob0"Russell alternately brings feeling and energy to the tracks on this amazing album. There are tracks you can kick back to and others you will want to turn up. The musicians along for the ride are stellar. This guy should have been a huge star (he was on his way in the early 70's), but as Gatemouth Brown told a friend of mine, Leon "spent a little too much time in the 60's." Luckily, albums like Leon Live, and the self titled LP clearly show what he was capable of and why he was so sought after as a musician by the greats of his day (The Stones, Clapton, George Harrison, Cocker, Dylan). If you like any of the names just mentioned there is probably something on this album for you. A lot of the tracks are the kind found on Exile on Main Street (full-sound -- gospel back-up singers, horns). Good stuff. The One That Made Him A Star....On The Heels Of Cocker and Harrison,By Original Mixed Up-Kid "jg"Leon's big band sound of gospel,blues,country is all captured on this stunning release catapulting him into stardom.All the cuts are classics even the Dylan and Harrison covers, and despite using different studios from LA to Alabama,London,there is a cohesiveness to the overall sound that I find very live at your face akin to that whole Delaney and Bonnie,early solo Clapton,Cocker's Mad Dog and Englishman sound where all excess is contained on the album..all were intertwined as some happy family.A unique 1970's piece of history. Leon Russell, You Just Can't Go Wrong!By H. Brown "Bubs Boy"Leon Russell has endured in the toughest forum of music and continues today. Leon's life has been music and more music. He's been playing professionally since he was 14! He was a "session" player for years.Leon eventually produced and played on sessions with Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Ike and Tina Turner, The Rolling Stones, The Byrds, The Ventures, Bobby Darin, Wayne Newton, Sam Cooke, Johnny Mathis and many records with Herb Albert and Tijuana Brass.Leon can be heard playing piano on Jan and Dean's "Surf City," Bobby Boris Pickett's "Monster Mash LP," and The Beach Boys "California Girls" and "Pet Sounds" among others. Leon played on most of Phil Spector's landmark records. According to Jack Nitzsche, noted producer, writer and arranger, "Leon was there for the solos and the fancy stuff," Jack was the band leader for those sessions. You name it, he can play it.The Shelter People were, in my opinion, the best group of backing artists he ever played and traveled with. Buy it, you'll enjoy it!
