Go!

He has combined Americana, Country, New Grass Revival, Blues, Dixie, Southern and Classic Rock etc his shows are great

I have not seen him "lately" and don't like his recent albums at all but his shows has a balanced stelist with a lot from the good all times, do not expect a rocking cover of Jumping Jack Flash but in a mix of the above styles and he is playing Wild Horses in a country version and a GREAT meddley with Paint it Black, Jumpling Jack Flash and Kansas City the cover the Stones played as opening in their first gig

I like a lot his album "Leon Russell" (1970) with guests like Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Eric Clapton, Merry Clayton, etc

This is a sample of what he is playing:

1. Prince of Peace
2. Sweet Little Angel (BB King)
3. Rollin' in My Sweet Baby's Arms (Buck Owens )
4. Stranger in a Strange Land
5. Let the Good Times Roll
6. Dixie Lullaby
7. Lady Blue
8. Back to the Island
9. Wild Horses (Jagger – Richards)
10. Georgia on My Mind (Hoagy Carmichael )
11. I've Just Seen a Face (Lennon-McCartney)
12. Hummingbird
13. Baby What (Do) You Want Me to Do
14. Tightrope
15. Delta Lady
16. Prince of Peace
17. Walking Blues (Son House )
18. A Song for You
19. Medley: Jumping Jack Flash / Papa Was A Rolling Stone / Paint It Black / Kansas City
Encore:
20. Great Balls of Fire (Jerry Lee Lewis )
21. Roll over Beethoven (Chuck Berry )

Reply #3 - Dec 26^th, 2012 at 3:03pm Glad he's still going strong, last I heard of him was Elton John did an album with him, & sort of brought him to people's attention again.

He played in Paris a few months ago in a club and we had a good show with several Rolling Stones' songs.

Here's our review from the show on ROCKERPARIS:
