Leon Russell And The Shelter People  Original Release Date: May 3, 1971 Recorded: August 23-26, September, December 23, 1970 and January 1971 Label: Capitol Records Producers: Leon Russell, Denny Cordell Country: USA Genre: Rock, Blues Rock, R&B Time: 42:46 Leon Russell and The Shelter People is the 1971 gem by multi-instrumentalist and music icon Leon Russell. The album is comprised of eight Russell originals, two Dylan covers and Harrison’s “Beware of Darkness.” It is a full display of Russell’s gifts as an instrumentalist and his abilities to produce timeless Rock & Roll classics. Russell’s soulful talents shine through on the tracks “Of Thee I Sing,” “Home Sweet Oklahoma” and “She Smiles Like a River.” Leon Russell and The Shelter People finds Russell at his prime and is an important document in his illustrious career. Wikipedia: Leon Russell and the Shelter People is the second solo album by the singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Leon Russell, released in 1971. It peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 in the USA. AllMusic Review by Mike DeGagne: Leon Russell's accolades are monumental in a number of categories, from songwriting (he wrote Joe Cocker's "Delta Lady") to session playing (with the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, just to name a few) to his solo work. Unfortunately, it's the last category that never really attracted as much attention as it should have, despite a multitude of blues-based gospel recordings and piano-led, Southern-styled rock albums released throughout the 1970s. Leon Russell and the Shelter People is a prime example of Russell's instrumental dexterity and ability to produce some energetic rock & roll. Poignant and expressive tracks such as "Of Thee I Sing," "Home Sweet Oklahoma," and "She Smiles Like a River" all lay claim to Russell's soulful style and are clear-cut examples of the power that he musters through his spirited piano playing and his voice. His Dylan covers are just as strong, especially "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" and "It Takes a Lot to Laugh," while "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" and "It's a Hard Rain Gonna Fall" have him sounding so forceful, they could have been Russell's own. A hearty, full-flavored gospel sound is amassed thanks to both the Shelter People and the Tulsa Tops, who back Russell up on most of the tracks, but it's Russell alone that makes "The Ballad of Mad Dogs and Englishmen" such an expressive piece and the highlight of the album. On the whole, Leon Russell and the Shelter People is an entertaining and more importantly, revealing exposition of Russell's music when he was in his prime. The album that followed, 1972's Carney, is an introspective piece which holds up a little better from a songwriting standpoint, but this album does a better job at bearing his proficiency as a well-rounded musician.  01 - Stranger In A Strange Land 02 - Of Thee I Sing 03 - It's A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall 04 - Crystal Closet Queen 05 - Home Sweet Oklahoma 06 - Alcatraz 07 - The Ballad Of Mad Dogs And Englishmen 08 - It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry 09 - She Smiles Like A River 10 - Sweet Emily 11 - Beware Of Darkness Lineup: Leon Russell – vocals, guitar, piano, organ Jesse Ed Davis – guitar Claudia Lennear – vocals Jim Price – organ Jim Keltner – drums Jim Gordon – drums Barry Beckett – organ Chuck Blackwell – drums Joey Cooper – guitar, vocals John Gallie – organ Roger Hawkins – drums David Hood – bass guitar Jimmy Johnson – guitar Kathi McDonald – vocals Don Preston – guitar, vocals Carl Radle – bass guitar Chris Stainton – guitar Note: This is not my rip.
