Leon Russell

Before his death last fall at the age of 74, Leon Russell had spent much of his final year writing and recording a new album inspired by the sounds of the Great American Songbook.  The result is this legend's final studio album.  On a Distant Shore features reworkings of three Russell classics ("This Masquerade," "A Song for You," "Hummingbird") as well as nine new songs, making for a fitting farewell from a remarkable artist.
