C&L's Late Nite Music Club With Leon Russell

As timeless as it is catchy, "Stranger in a Strange Land" remains one of the strongest works of Russell's career. This tune is the embodiment of his style: a blend of Rock 'n' Roll, Country, and Gospel that made him so influential for his contemporaries and artists who came after him.

As timeless as it is catchy, "Stranger in a Strange Land" remains one of the strongest works of Russell's career. This tune is the embodiment of his style: a blend of Rock 'n' Roll, Country, and Gospel that made him so influential for his contemporaries and the artists who came after him. He is also one of the greatest collaborators of his time, working with artists ranging from Willie Nelson to Elton John. Always keeping himself busy, Leon still tours to this day, currently making his way across the United States.
