Leon Russell - Snapshot (2013)

Leon Russell's CD "Snapshot" comes unheralded. There are no musicians listed, no writers' credits for the songs. But the music has delightful gems. The double-entendre titled "Come for You" bounces joyfully with romantic bliss as the background singers, stinging electric guitar and Russell's growl-sing make the track shine. "Honey & Eli" is another of my favorites with Russell's signature piano – his fingers seem to bounce along the keyboards – and soul horns to create an intoxicating mix, "I see sweet love there in your eyes; true love cannot be denied." Another gem that should not be confused with the Hank Williams' classic by the same title is the religious but not preachy "I See the Light." Russell is in reflective mood here on the Almighty and the afterlife with a slower beat and his vocals soulful and passionate, "I see a place there in the distance now, a sweet delight, his precious love abounds, I hear his words and then I feel alright; I speak his name; I see the Light." The rest of the CD is a mix with some predictable melodies, but also some joyful surprises. "Lost Inside the Blues" is a strong track. The CD concludes with a Russell instrumental "Friendly Fire." "Snapshot" is a strong set, well worth exploration by fans of Russell and heartfelt roots music. Enjoy!

Review by Lee Armstrong, Amazon.com

From the first track to the last Leon Russell is exceeding at his talents. I have been along time fan of Leon Russells like so many other that will likely read this review. This records contains previously released selections of his many records- on his self named label, but please do not let that fact detract the excellent music on this compact disc.

I believe the records holds some of the best songs released over the last 15 years or so. "Come For You" is a song I play from "Angel In Disguise" also from the same record is the hot" Honey And Eli" the song certainly proves Leon still knows how to really drive a song like few others.

"Lost Inside The Blues" here once again Leon is at the top of his game. Just love "Sweet Magic Love" a real country blues song that has that the Russell signature all over it.

"I See The Light" from the wonderful "A Mighty Flood" this is probably one of my all time favorite songs by Leon Russell. I really could not estimate how many times I have played this song ( I hope to have this song played at my funeral)

All in all I am very pleased with this fine offering by the wonderful Leon Russell.
