Hank Wilsons Back

Amazon.com
Here's Leon Russell circa 1973 doing a set of classic country covers with some of Nashville's finest session men--never has an album been more straightforward. That's not to say it's disappointing--or great, for that matter--it just is what it is. Hardly essential, it's nevertheless a downright enjoyable listen. And any chance to hear Curly Chalker play steel guitar is welcome indeed. --Marc Greilsamer

Leon Russell's alter-ego.......2007-05-18

This is the first of four "Hank Wilson" CDs by Leon Russell. I have all four - Hank Wilson's Back, Return of Hank Wilson Vol. 2, A Legend in my Time - Hank Wilson Vol 3, and Hank Wilson Vol 4 - Rhythm & Bluegrass. These songs as performed by Leon seem as if they were written with him in mind. Although he has added a few twists here and there, these songs are as true to the original artists as imaginable. My favorites are Vol 2, 3, 1 and 4 in that order, although I enjoy them all. These are a must-have for all Leon Russell fans.

My best friend and I had listened to this in our college days thanks for an old 8 track recording. Subsequently, years later I started looking for the album - with no luck till I found it on Amazon. For me, it's great music while likewise genertaing countless memories.

Hank Wilson's Back.......2007-01-04

I was so glad to find this CD. I had the album several, several years ago and loved it. Now I can play the CD in my travels and have a great time listening to Leon sing some classic country songs.

Leon and Country Music.......2006-11-05

"Hank Wilson's Back" is a real tribute to the great songs of early country music. When lyrics and melody are blended with Leon Russell's unique style of singing, the result is an enjoyable and memorable experience! I recommend this CD for anyone who is a fan of country and/or Leon.
