From Undercover…
A statement at his website reads, “Leon is recovering after successful surgery on Monday to relieve a chronic condition. He is doing fine and resting in the hospital in good condition. He is expected to be released from the hospital in a few days”.
Hmm…good for Leon! Probably ought to take it easy for a bit, yes?
No…
The statement also mentioned that Leon will soon be joining Sir Elton John in the studio. “Leon is looking forward to beginning studio recording sessions during the last half of this month through February with Elton John, Bernie Taupin and T-Bone Burnett”.
Woah! That sounds like a pretty serious session there, a feller would want to be on the top of his game. Just wondering what kind of brain surgery would allow a cat to be back in the studio in a couple of weeks (maybe…a Keef style trepanning? I’m just throwing it out there…).
He is also planning on touring again from March. “He and his band will resume touring at the beginning of March”.
Woah! Hitting the highway the next month! Leon you are a mighty man indeed.
Folks anxious to hear what’s up with Slash’s solo project will be interested in this version of “Paradise City” featuring Cypress Hill and Fergie.

Now then, addressing the issue of musicians who wear top hats; of course we have Slash…
…but before him came Leon Wilkeson…
…and, Leon Russell…
…and, before them…Duke Ellington…
Can you think of any other top hat cats?
“Same Old Blues” by J.J. Cale & Leon Russell.
Economically funky.
As always, it’s the same old click pause on the music player located in the side before playing the YouTube again.
