Leon Russell, taken in Austin by photographer Scott Newton from our exclusive collection, The Scott Newton Archive.
Available as a signed, limited edition photographic print
Photographers Notes: Leon Russell. 1973. Austin. In the early 70's, other than straight ol' sh*t-kicker Country, Leon Russell was about as big as it got in Texas. He had a distinctive, blues-rock style, heavy on piano rock tunes, with sensitive love songs occasionally thrown in. He was the major draw to the '74 Picnic at Bryan/College station...I doubt half those kids who went to the Texas Motor Speedway Picnic knew who Willie was...they were there for Leon.
