Editorial Reviews

The good news concerning A Face in the Crowd is that Leon Russell in his late 50s sounds a lot like Leon Russell in his early-30s commercial prime--old. Or perhaps seasoned is a more appropriate word, since the veteran rocker's appeal has always centered around his mushy, been-around-the-block vocals and sophisticated R&B- and gospel-flavored songs. This 12-track collection finds the Oklahoma original playing more lead guitar than one might expect from a man best known as one of rock & roll's premium pianists. The album's opener, a pummeling blues original called "Love in a Battlefield," lays the groundwork with Russell's Albert King-inspired guitar in the fore. "Down in the Flood" finds Leon pumping away back at the keys. "Blues Eyes & a Black Heart," "Mean and Evil," and "Don't Bring the Blues to Bed" indicate his mind is suitably in the mire. Is Face in the Crowd up to standards set in the early 1970s with And the Shelter People? Not quite. But it does demonstrate that the Russell of the late '90s isn't far removed from the natural-born musician who once rubbed shoulders with Phil Spector and George Harrison and was a linchpin for The Concert for Bangla Desh and Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs & Englishmen. --Steven Stolder

LEON RUSSELL - SNAPSHOT

Leon Russell is an American musician and songwriter, who has recorded as a session musician, sideman, and maintained a solo career in music.Born in Lawton, Oklahoma, he began playing piano at the age of four. Russell attended Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. At this time he was already performing at Tulsa nightclubs. After moving to Los Angeles, he became a session musician, working as a pianist on the recordings of many notable musical artists from the 1960s. By the late 1960s, Russell diversified, becoming successful as an arranger and wrote and co-wrote songs. As a musician, he worked his way up from gigs as a sideman to well known performers. By 1970 he had graduated to solo recording artist, although he never ended all his previous roles within the music industry.

Russell was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Monday, March 14, 2011, at a black-tie dinner at The Waldorf-Astoria hotel in Manhattan. - wikipedia

Editorial Reviews
Russell's 1973 triple-LP Leon Live was hailed as one of the greatest live recordings
in rock. What it overshadowed was his equally revelatory recording made at the
Budokan in Japan that same year; wonderfully gritty performances from Houston in '71
join Heaven; Queen of the Roller Derby; Tight Rope; Sweet Emily; Alcatraz; You Don't
Have to Go , and more. U.S. debut, CD debut! http://fp.io/feac6ee9/

THE EVERLY BROTHERS - THE COLLECTION

The Everly Brothers—Isaac Donald "Don" Everly (1937) and Phillip "Phil" Everly (1939 – January 3, 2014) were American country-influenced rock and roll singers, known for steel-string guitar playing and close harmony singing. The duo was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.

The Everly Brothers were not only among the most important and best early rock & roll stars, but also among the most influential rockers of any era. They set unmatched standards for close, two-part harmonies and infused early rock & roll with some of the best elements of country and pop music. Their legacy was and is felt enormously in all rock acts that employ harmonies as prime features, from the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, and legions of country-rockers to modern-day roots rockers like Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe (who once recorded an EP of Everlys songs together).

This Collection from the Castle label relies heavily on the Everly Brothers early Cadence recordings, but omits most of the duo's hits like "All I Have to Do Is Dream" and "Bye Bye Love." While all of the material is strong, there are far better collections available from this period, including Cadence Classics: Their 20 Greatest Hits, Complete Cadence Recordings: 1957-1960, and Essential Cadence Singles.

Recorded Live to 2-track anaolg by Owsley Stanley III
High Definition Mastering in Dawg Studios by David Grisman

Forty years ago on a monday night, a bluegrass band walked on to the stage of The Boarding House in San Francisco. The band included two of Bill Monroe’s former Blue Grass Boys, guitarist Peter Rowan and fiddle virtuoso Vassar Clements, mandolinist David Grisman and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead picking banjo along with his bass playing sidekick, John Kahn.

A week later the same group played there again and recorded what would become one of the most influential albums in Bluegrass history — Old & in the Way. Now forty years later, both shows are being released as High Definition (24 bit, 96 khz) downloads on Grisman’s AcousticOasis.com. This will be the first release of the complete shows by this unique ensemble and includes 55 tracks, 14 of which have never been released in any format.

For the past three years Acoustic Oasis has been Grisman’s pet project with many “Deluxe” releases in high definition with much previously unreleased gems from his extensive archives. Old and In The Way - The Complete Boarding House Shows is due for release on the fortieth anniversary — October 1st, 2013.
