Leon Russell - She thinks I still care

[jdallen6104]

J.J. Cale's all over this LP.

[nastybeth]

i seen u in pittsburgh 1972 or close 2--1972 i think if that was me

[steelpicker007]

SOunds like the old master Pete Drake playing the steel with his bag of tricks

[cochinogordo]

what a voice. what a band backing him up. he could hit home runs left and right.

[d1sailer]

I actually wore this 8-track out.....

[beachdog67]

Man, I *LOVED* this LP. Haven't heard it in years. Thanks.

[LanceHelmut]

not much for cover songs...this however....!!!!!

[barrydecko]

thanks.



[pindowskivich]

Not a bad song on this album.

[cindiarg]

All Hail King Leon!!!

[antivenin]

This album has carried me through 3 decades.

[Katcrazy7]

One thing I love about these recordings, is the steel player! What a tremendous job! Wonder who the steel man was on these? Leon has a catchy voice that has really grown on me across the years. I love listening to these Hank songs! Thanks

[bloosdoode]

Nobody does this song like the music genius that is Leon Russell. Something magic happens between his soul and his voice that defies understanding. I'm glad this has finally been recognized, but Leon has always been in my top five artists of all time. Lucky is the writer of a song that Leon decides to cover, no finer honor.

[revelsdeborah]

hes just great...and im a david allen coe fan ....but theres no one like leon

[bullysmom74]

loved his Hank cd's, i think he sings the songs better than george.

[inatizzy2]

Carney is my fav of all time... Seen Leon a few times... I think? LOL Actually I remember him well in the late 70's, early 80's..... Still love Leon my ,Oklahoma home boy!

[bulbheadmyass]

Still one of my favorite versions of this great song. 

[admllr]

saw leon a buncha times. one time in iowa he was driving the tour bus. this is my favorite album. carney rates right up there too. steel guitar in this song is great. leon w/the new grass revival was a good show too,,,iowa city around '80.

[Underparr]

love this version and this song. I put it right close to George Jones and He stopped loving her today as the greatest country song of all time!

[Underparr]

LOVE me some Leon. But went to see him at a casino a year or so back in St Louis. was disappointed. Did a lot of cover crap and very little of Hank Wiilson , Carney or the old stuff

[sweetnpeachy1]

@Underparr I'm a bit surprised, he's been killer every time I've seen him! However he has had 3 brain surgeries and I don't think that he's totally recovered and back to his old self yet!

About time he was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame after 4+ decades of music! Love Leon!

[brodank]

CONGRATS ON BEING INDUCTED IN TO THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME!

[trublucountry]

I just saw him last week from row 6 center. Incredible!! StandingOs. People crying.

I have the album. A great band just playing their hearts out. They just ripped up!

My favorite artist of all time.

[ibdaddyo1]

[imaRoLLingStonzFan]

[zo219]

Leon's butt. Hmmm. Oh yes.

[manxman99]

My copy of the LP is thinner on this track

[venezio007]

was leon the same person who was in e.t.'s band?

[steelpicker007]

@venezio007

no--that was Leon Rhodes---lead guitar player

[hirdy6]

Love this, thanks heaps for sharing.

[screwmaster404]

Leon Russel - one of a kind

[undercoverjoe1]

I cherish this LP. I trick a lot of friends when I show them this album and ask them if they remember Hank Wilson.

[MrTriggerluke]

leon makes it all sound good!

[TheGino62]

i haven t heard this in years it good good stuff

[cleaverw]

Outstanding

[judecreek2]

Hank Wilson's butt!

[kingfucter]

@judecreek2 I like my share of country music, does leon sing a lot of it or...?

[judecreek2]

@kingfucter He put out 2 albums as Hank Wilson, and has recorded many a country tune with Willie Nelson. He can do country as proud as he does rock!

[jeubanks49]

One of my favorite albums back in the day.

[lconeill1949]

I remember my mama singing this song to us at bedtime. I thought she had a voice like an angel. God bless her soul.

[judecreek2]

LONG LIVE HANK WILSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stedrod]

I'm with TheCheseacat. In a lot of ways, this LP was my introduction to breaking down these songs. My daddy used to listen to them (by the original artists) in the early mornings on AM radio before he went off to work. But back then, they were an annoyance to my teen-aged sleep. They truly are classic Americana. I still have the LP too.

[korbelbrut11]

I have great memories of this entire CD..............

[Snoqmike]

denial ain't just a river in egypt, is it?

[fordranman]

I have this album, and its great

[TheChelseacat]

When I was in college this recored was my introduction to these great tunes. And I still have the LP.

[1234ezra1]

This is such an AWESOME record !! Love Leon, great tone!!

[BestIntentions]

Thank you for sharing this treasure from so long ago.

[NatureBoy1957]

I love George but damn this is badass!!!

[1jtv]

wow, I haven't listened to Hank Wilson's Back in years. Can you post more, i.e The Window Up Above....and others.

Thanks for the post, it's great.

[MrJerizona]

[bulbheadmyass]

OMG, I remember this from years ago. I love this song. I loved that whole album. Thanks for the post.
