Leon Russell - On a Distant Shore ( VINYL 2017 )

Long time followers of Leon Russell know that for all the wild-eyed gospel inspired rock and rolling he did in the 70s, exemplified by such classics as “Delta Lady,” “Roll Away the Stone,” and “Queen of the Roller Derby,” he was also a softie at heart. Certainly early ballads, now standards like “A Song for You,” “Hummingbird” and “This Masquerade” (all reprised here in updated arrangements) showed that under the long hair, piano pounding fingers, croaking Okie drawl and crooked top hat was a songwriter capable of writing material that, like the tunes populating the great American Songbook, stood the test of time.

CONDITION: NEW! Minor crease upper right corner due to shipping.
