Almost Piano = MIDI synthesizers, at least in this collection of ten instrumentals from
Leon Russell. One of many self-recorded and self-released albums
Russell kicked out in the new millennium, this sequenced and sprightly offering clearly betrays its origins as a computerized creation. As careful as the production sounds, the compositions often seem as if
Russell just set up and started playing, giving the tracks their titles afterward. Still,
Russell remains a fluid, engaging player, and devoted
Leon Russell fans might enjoy putting this on as background music. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
