Leon Russell - Carney

Leon Russell - Carney.  Yikes - this is rather hauting.  Not sure I like him in powder make-up.  Leon's in the news this year with his Elton duet CD - produced by - who else - the ubiquitous T-Bone Burnett.  I get it - T-Bone's THE guy you want at the studio controlls when you make your record.  But is TBB the all-time, best ever record producer.  I'll vote no.  My personal favs are, sort of in order: Hugh Padgham, Sir Geoge Martin, Tom Dowd, Mutt Lange, and Quincy Jones.  With an honorable mention to Ted Templeman.  Back to this record.  File it under The Back Cover is Better Than the Front.  Clapton's favorite bass player, Carl Radle, is on it.  Check out his classic Tight Rope.
