CD Reviews

The Master of Time and Space
S J Buck | Kent, UK | 05/14/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I didn't discover this album until about 5 years ago. I heard him on Mad Dogs and Englishmen but had not thought of buying his solo albums.

This is his debut solo album and its great.

This isn't surprising since the list of guest musicians is a whos who from the 60s and 70s:

George Harrison

Eric Clapton

Steve Winwood

Chris Stainton

Klaus Voorman

Bobby Whitlock

etc...



The star though is Leon himself.

I've got to honest here, his voice may not be to everybodys taste, but I like it.

A Song For you has been covered by many people - this remains the best version.

Delta Lady is better known for the Joe Cocker version - but its Leon's song and this is great version.

Shoot out on the Plantation features Leon's distinctive Piano work (as indeed a lot of the album does) and is my favourite track. This and Dixie Lullaby are great rock 'n' roll tracks.



Theres also some great Gospel influnced Rock on this album. Such as Give Peace a Chance (this is not the Lennon song).

In the same way I Put a Spell on You is not the song Nina Simone made famous. Leon wrote all the material except the bonus track which is a slightly odd Dylan cover.



This is the album I have played the most over the last few years and at the moment I show no signs of getting bored with it!

"Not many studio albums ever made make you feel like you are at a live concert. This is a true gem. Great piano!!!!!"
Second Favorite Studio Release

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I love this album for the same reasons I rated Shelter People (see my review) my favorite Leon studio release. Buy the CD you will not be dissapointed. Leon is the Master... I remember when the Mad Dogs film was released. We really did not understand Joe's gyrations (loved the music though) and patiently waited for each and every appearance of Leon. Sorry Joe.



If you have a CD burner buy every studio release of Leon's that has songs covered on Leon Live and burn those songs in same order as Leon Live to CD. You do not get all the songs but it is a really cool listening experience and alot easier to keep up with."
