| | Description: | For fans of Ace Recordsâ?? popular Songwriters series, 2021 looks like being a particularly good year. We kicked off in January with a compilation of songs from the pen of Kris Kristofferson, and keep the ball rolling this month with a volume spotlighting the work of Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Leon Russell.
The name Leon Russell should evoke welcome memories for anyone old enough to remember that time in the late 60s-early 70s when rock and soul seemed to be sprouting wings and flying in all directions, with no boundaries to contain the flow of mad, wide-eyed creativity. With his flowing grey mane, stovepipe hat and stellar piano playing, Russell cut an imposing presence leading Joe Cockerâ??s Mad Dogs & Englishmen circus as its charismatic ringmaster and musical director, before stepping out on a solo career that went supernova as it rampaged through the first half of the 70s, directed from atop his Shelter empire.
The collection comprises almost entirely songs from the period 1966 to 1979 and is packaged with a booklet featuring a 6,500-word essay by Kris Needs. The earliest selections â?? â??Before You Goâ?? by Bobby Vee and â??The Loser (With A Broken Heart)â?? by Gary Lewis & the Playboys, both from Leonâ??s time as producer Snuff Garrettâ??s right-hand man, â??Raspberry Rugâ?? by Bobby Whitlock and the Beatles-flavoured â??Land Of Ozâ?? by Le Cirque â?? were all released before his name became well known to the public, although he was already established as one of the leading session musicians on the Los Angeles recording scene. His first major success came in 1969 with Joe Cockerâ??s recording of â??Delta Ladyâ??, included here along with definitive versions of â??A Song For Youâ??, â??Groupie (Superstar)â?? and â??This Masqueradeâ?? by Donny Hathaway, Delaney & Bonnie and George Benson respectively.
The one exception to the â??69-â??76 timeframe is â??If It Wasnâ??t For Badâ?? from â??The Unionâ?, the 2010 album Leon recorded in collaboration with Elton John, to whom he was an idol, mentor and inspiration. As Kris Needs writes in the booklet, â??Elton deserves much credit for reminding the modern world what a major talent had once stalked among us. Hopefully, this collection will help to keep Leon Russellâ??s flame burning, maybe even send a few rifling through the manâ??s colossal catalogue, like the first nuggets at the entrance to a goldmine.â? - For fans of Ace Records' popular Songwriters series, 2021 looks like being a particularly good year.
