Carney - Leon Russell - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Carney finds Leon Russell at his most eccentric and fearless, building a crooked little funhouse out of rock, gospel, and vaudeville shadows. Released in 1972, it’s the record where his Tulsa roots collide with a carnival of characters, surreal imagery, and melodies that feel both familiar and slightly off-kilter, like a half-remembered dream. The album swings from the ragged swagger of “Tight Rope” to the fragile, almost whispered intimacy of “This Masquerade,” a ballad that would go on to become a standard. In between, Russell leans into swampy grooves, barrelhouse piano, and psychedelic textures, sketching out a world that’s equal parts roadside sideshow and late-night confessional. For vinyl collectors, Carney is a rewarding listen front to back: the sequencing tells its own story, and the production rewards a good needle and a quiet room. You can hear the room around the piano, the grain in Russell’s voice, and the sly details tucked into the arrangements. This is the Leon Russell album that shows just how strange, tender, and inventive 1970s rock could be—essential for anyone who likes their records with personality, risk, and a little bit of beautiful weirdness.
