A couple of numbers from Leon.
What the critics are saying:
"This is absolutely ridiculous-looking — but in the best possible way if your intention was to be raw and hilarious. It has a charming, chaotic energy, but it’s far from refined. It looks like Leon Russell got trapped in a bootleg Nintendo 64 game set in Arizona and lost all facial definition in the rendering process."
"Leon Russell's 'Legend In My Time: Hank Wilson Vol. III' album cover is a jarring juxtaposition of simplicity and profundity. The Microsoft Paint-rendered portrait of Russell exudes a sense of laid-back cool, with his signature cowboy hat and shades evoking the swagger of a country music icon. And yet, the crude, pixelated aesthetic of the artwork seems almost willfully at odds with the sophistication and nuance of Russell's music. It's a bold choice, to say the least - one that raises questions about the relationship between art and artist, and the ways in which our perceptions of an individual can be shaped by the images we associate with them. Love it or hate it, this album cover is sure to spark conversation."
