CD Reviews

Delightful Leon Russell Country Retrospective And Then Some!

Anthony Accordino | Massapequa Park, New York United States | 07/09/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Most classic rock fans are more than a tad familiar with the diverse body of work created by the legendary Leon Russell. As most fans know, Leon has always been a honky-tonk country/gospel rocker at heart. This generous 22 cut career spanning country collection covers the years, 1973 till present day 2009. I won't get into all the great prior tunes that are collected here for the first time on one cd. What I will tell you, is the new recording of "The Ballad Of Jed Clampett", is an absolute gem that is both fun and rollicking, complete with some ad-on hysterical lyrics by Leon. The Berverly Hillbillies never sounded better. This collection is pure country rock at it's very best courtesy of Leon Russell."

Hanks prank

"I have been a big Leon (Hank) fan since the original Hank's Back Vol. 1 came out in the early 70's. It was by far the best of the Hank Wilson series. The cuts from that original release on this best of cd are remakes. If you want the best of Hank buy Hank Wilsons Back Vol. 1 which in its entirity is better than any combination of the other three."
