Recommendations
Reviews
-
Stone classic. Although it has some of Leon's most covered and memorable tunes, it's much more than a "songwriter's album". The combo of blues, New Orleans r&b, pop, swamp rock vibes, gospel and country is simmered to mature and natural perfection even here on the debut. Leon had it all: the guy could write, throw down lyrics that ran from profound to funny to poignant (often all in one song), play the hell of of a piano, arrange, produce, sing and was a visual icon (to the point where Dr. Teeth is partly based on him, Dr. John and Elton). Rock heavyweights don't hurt either. A sure calling card for a great player, arranger and writer.
