On the Track by Leon Redbone (CD, Warner Bros. Records Record Label)

I used to listen to Leon Redbone some years ago on LP and this was one of my favorite recordings. I recently purchased his BRANCH TO BRANCH CD which immediately rekindled by love for his music! A few days after that CD arrived I purchased this one. The textures are rich and the performances are top notch. Leon has a unique sort of mumbly and grovely voice that brings new life to some old time favorites and his original songs are even better. I love the use of a tuba in the rhythm section for bass...you have to hear it to believe how rich it sounds. My wife thinks I listen to all sorts of strange music and only likes about 25% of what I play. When she heard Leon Redbone for the first time instead of telling me to turn down the volume she asked me who was playing and commented on how good it was. I listen to this CD over and over. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Leon Redbone is one fantastic singer...and this is one of his best CDs. He has a truly one-of-a-kind voice, with wonderful range of mostly traditional song titles. I first heard him sing on a Prairie Home Campanion, and became and instant fan. When I first heard him on the radio, I thought he was a black, older, American guy, probably from the Deep South. I was shocked when he turned out to be a younger (but not so young now), white, Canadian guy, with a mysterious background. But never mind, you will love his music.

As far as I'm concerned, the best Leon ever did. I first saw him on a tv show and he was mind blowing. I've enjoyed all of his work, but this is my favorite. "My walking stick" is the best of the best.

I heard this record many years ago and really liked it. The used CD was in very good condition and took me back in time like a time machine.
