627 A Bit Of Leon On The Side






Leon Russell was a premier entertainer and musician whose career spanned on many decades. Many people love his music, but some people are not aware that he began his career as a studio musician and sideman. Even through his musical life at the front of the stage, Leon also enjoyed a busy second life as a sideman. So Trick's Synthetic Countdown pulled together a dozen of great examples of Leon Russell's sideman work.

10 Save The Last Dance For Me - Mary Kay Place
9 Further Along - Flying Burrito Brothers
8 Wishbone - Willis Allen Ramsey
7 Faded Love - Delaney and Bonnie
6 Tired of Midnight Blue - George Harrison

3 Same Old Blues - Freddie King
2 Blues Power - Eric Clapton
1 King's Special - B. B. King

You just can't have too much Leon..
