Here's another song that fans of Leon Russell probably know from Russell's 1984 album Hank Wilson Vol II. In 1973 Leon used the names of two of his favorite country stars, HANK WILliams and Hank ThompSON and came up with Hank Wilson, which he used as sort of a country alter ego for recordings of popular country songs. Here is a 1962 instrumental of Hank Snow's Number One hit "I'm Movin' On," wh...

Great cover of a great instrumental!!!
Wow!! That's awesome!
Fantastic album. Have Carney on vinyl from 1973.
This is one of the better obscure, old songs shared.
That organ solo by Leon Russell is just fantastic.
I wonder why Herb Alpert credited this tune to his brother, David, if he in fact wrote it. Maybe I can ask him the next time I see him in concert...he does take questions.
1962 song that might have been a bit too risqué? Thanks for sharing the history.
!!!
So great. Thank you!!
Was the Rev from Tulsa?
@@Mixtapeworm Patrick Henderson was born in Dallas, Texas.
@@leonrussellsuperstarinamas6728 Tulsa could use a sweeping through the city again. Thanks for the reply!
I don't there there's a single song that wasn't made better by Leon. I'd choose his version every day.
Nice that you allow us to hear them both but I can't listen to either all the way through. Not a fan of country, then or now. 😊
Because of your Uploads of Songs from this Album I bought it. It's really nice to hear a couple of Leon's later Songs with a real band.❤ Guitar Blues and Face from the Crowd are great Albums but the slightly syntetic Sound ...
OH -WOW !! This is a super group from every musicial aspect.Writing,Singing, Producing, Playing. Just Incredible.
Frank Devol led a group called Happy Kine and His Mirth Makers on the Martin Mull TV vehicle called fernwood 2 night and later called America tonight when it was picked up by the network. This was sometime and the early '70s they played the house band like a cheap doc severenson. Tommy tedesco played guitar in that band sorry I do not know the other players but they had hilarious cameos. Those shows are available in their entirety elsewhere here on RUclips. Devol himself was deadpan funny as the leader Happy Kine.
Why oh why, would they use actual gold? Doesn't make sense.
There it is! Thanks William.
Thanks for sharing these. Would be a real shame if they weren't heard. Look forward to #17.

Very cool CD!! Thanks for posting this. Would like to hear the last listed song in the bonus tracks!
Thanks for posting this. Hope you post the other unissued tracks on this CD!
Can we hear the rest of the CD? Please.
There is another bonus track with Clapton “New Sweet Home Chicago” plz upload if you can!
Богини и Кралици! 🌹❤️🫶
Божествено! 🙏❤️🌹
Божествени! 🙏🌹❤️
Was that sold in the US when released? Haven't seen it before. Thanks William.
@@GLD-hopeful I got it from Leon’s mail order address. Try ebay or Amazon.
Hello. Do you have any contact info for Ricky Dean. I would like to include him on my blog
Is there any thing you don't know ? Interesting.
@@JohnWilliams-kx7od I know some stuff. I can’t divulge a lot of what I know. I know you are a great sax player who was in The Hollywood Starlighters with Russell Bridges (Leon Russell) back in 1959, and you’re still performing at gigs around Tulsa.
It's really a nice Album, i Like it a Lot, Just the Cover..... But most of Leons Coverdesigns of his later years where a Bit odd in my opinion.
Lovely song 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Do you have complete LP you could upload.
@@johnparkin4692 I do have it, and can post more from it.
@@leonrussellsuperstarinamas6728 that would be great thanks.
@@leonrussellsuperstarinamas6728 Great thanks. Full album if possible. Would be good.
Had wondered if Leon ever recorded with John. Thanks!
Lindos e Maravilhosos Tempos - Anos 60 e 70. Não Voltam Mais.! Saúde a Todos.que curtem a Bela Música Soft Rock.! Força.! James descanse em Paz.! Deus te Abençoe e a Todos Nós.!
I wonder why Jan and Dean didn’t record this one.
He was so young but made it in the music business anyway!
OMG, I love this man. I want to see all the episodes he hosted.
Thank you for these Solid State songs! Just the greatest. My opinion Leon's very best album. Was lucky to see him twice at the Surf Ballroom in Iowa and then once in Wisconsin. So sad they never released this album to digital. Thank you again! Wonderful!
Yes!
It's a damn shame that this album didn't fare better, it's absolutely tops. Her albums as Mary McCreary are practically forgotten also, they are also wonderful.
Exciting, fascinating, gorgeous. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing the upload! And the Contract and liner notes, (I think you might have reversed credits for Percussion and Drums as my late father, Milt Holland, was usually the percussionist on these kind of sessions - real interesting to see the contract sheet as was one of the people who got studios to pay scale for each overdub, he didn't approve of the production trying to save money using overdubs when they first started happening, so he demanded that each overdubbed track to get its own pay. The production had to want that particular Musician style rather than to try to save money by overdubbing. )
1:51 very cool! note the Contract shows double-scale notes here (our late father Milt Holland demanded that when overdubbing musicians must be paid this way rather than productions saving money on overdubs, so additional pay was for each track. He felt that if Studio wanted to overdub they should want to do it because they wanted that particular musicians talents rather than as a money saving strategy. Milt also was among those very instrumental in the Integration of musicians union local 47 which was quite segregated).
Shelter does it better. Always.
The studio banter is quite entertaining but kinda sad in retrospect
Great. I had forgotten all about this. SO pleased to hear it again.
Loving these JJC covers. Big thanks.
