- Another great Leon Russell record. By now, he's full-on 'let's cut records at my home studio with all kinds of non-trad instruments, doodads, segues, cut aways and nut jobs (Gary Busey aka 'Teddy Jack Eddy', being the prime nut job here) auteur mode' and 'let's cut records with the creme de la creme of studio players (Booker T and The MGs and the Tulsa crew) mode'. And again, like Carney, this mix-up of top-notch songwriting with odd production vs. smooth production makes for an enjoyable listen.
The retreat from celebrity first heard on Carney is revisited on 'Little Hideaway' and 'Back To The Island', one of Leon's best tunes (and such an apparent template for Jimmy Buffet's whole vibe that JB covered it). Synth textures figure prominently. There's a discernible progression from the earlier, rockier LR records towards contemporary soul, funk, r&b and what feels like adult contemporary. That last would increasingly dominate LR's sound for better or worse. - foobar2000 1.5.2 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1

================================================================================ referencing Will O' The Wisp (CD, Album, Reissue) T2-35539
Notes for this release indicate that Pete Bishop was the recording engineer on those tracks with the "M.G. Rhythm section," without any further designation of the specific tracks on which the M.G. Rhythm section played. Presumably this is a reference to Booker T & The MGs' rhythm section, which at the time of this recording (1975), comprised Al Jackson, Jr. (drums), Dennis "Duck" Dunn (bass), and Steve Cropper (guitar). The only songs to include Booker T's entire rhythm section are tracks 6 ("Stay Away From Sad Songs") and 7 ("Back to The Island"). However, tracks 5 ("My Father's Shoes") and 11 ("Lady Blue") both have Steve Cropper and Al Jackson on them, so they may be covered by the "M.G. Rhythm section" designation, as well.
