The Master of Time and Space
Carney, Tightrope, A Song For You
plus so many more
Instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, mentor
Claude Russell Bridges — Leon Russell (1942-2016)
One of Oklahoma’s finest
One of America’s finest
His voice the perfect blend of annoying
nasal-rub, blues-massage, sandpaper over soul
and bleeding-emotion-on-steroids
As Hank Wilson he simply put an exclamation point
on “America’s music” — Country
Music to hate
Music to love
either way
music
indisputably raw
Tradition says, “Rest in Peace”
I say, “Blow their minds, wherever you are.”
