Leon Russell with Mary Russell - The Paradise Years 1976-1981 / 4CD set

First-ever collection of late superstar Leon Russell's recordings for his own Paradise Records label. This 4CD collection features expanded editions of his solo albums, collaborations with Mary Russell and New Grass Revival, and Mary's own album 'Heart Of Fire'. Guests include Bobby Womack, Nigel Olsson of The Elton John Band, Maxayn Lewis, Mickey Raphael, The Buckinghams' Marty Grebb, Baja Marimba Band founder Julius Wechter, electronic music pioneer Roger Linn, and the Chicago horn section. Blending rock, R&B, soul, Americana, gospel, pop, jazz, dance, bluegrass, and country, 'The Paradise Years 1976-1981' includes some of the most richly varied and adventurous music ever made by Russell. The box includes newly remastered editions of Leon and Mary's 'Wedding Album' and 'Make Love To The Music'; Leon's 'Americana' and 'Life And Love'; Mary's 'Heart Of Fire'; and Leon & New Grass Revival's 'The Live Album', plus seven rare, new-to-CD bonus singles. Nick Robbins has remastered the audio. The deluxe booklet features Joe Marchese and Charles Donovan's sleeve notes placing these often-overlooked albums into the full context of Leon Russell's extraordinary legacy as a singer, songwriter, musician, producer, and collaborator.
