carl sonny leyland

[Svb442]

don't know if anyone has mentioned it but his new one, "im wise" on 
hmg/hightone, contains some of the finest jerry lee pumping piano that you'll 
ever hear. while he can play pretty much any style out of the pop songbook(as 
witnessed by his fine stylings with big sandy) he seems to have somehow got 
ahold of whatever the killer's been swiggin' all these years. not a bum song 
in the bunch, i can't get the thing outta my player. to these ears, on the 
finest albums of the year.
