I was browsing around the Amazon mp3 store through the $5 albums, listening to random artists, when I stumbled upon Leon Russell. Apparently he's a legend in the country/folk rock world, so I can't believe I only found about him now. I love the simplicity and stripped down, rawness of folk rock. Anyways, before I get too hipster on this blog, I wanted to share this crazy good performance by Leon, Ray, and Willie of Leon Russell's "Song for you". It's amazing how genuine Ray Charles sings.
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
