Dark Horse Records Announces New Edition of Leon Russell's “Signature Songs”

Dark Horse Records is proud to announce the upcoming release of Signature Songs, a collection of intimate, solo piano and vocal recordings by legendary musician, composer, and performer Leon Russell. Originally released in 2001 and long out-of-print, Signature Songs will be available on CD, digital download, and pressed for the very first time on vinyl, beginning Friday, March 17. Pre-orders are available now HERE

Signature Songs includes stripped-down and unique takes on songs from across Russell’s remarkable canon, from the GRAMMY® Hall of Fame classic, “A Song For You,” to his own classic hits, “Tight Rope,” “Stranger In A Strange Land,” “The Masquerade” and “Lady Blue.”

With its powerful performances and intimate song reinventions, Signature Songs stands as an ideal entry point and vivid reminder of Leon Russell’s one-of-a-kind musical genius. His career is like a roadmap of American music, though his mark can also be found on the work of British rock royalty like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Elton John, the latter of whom later inducted him into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. A genre-defying, multi-talented artist whose wildly diverse body of work has affirmed him as a truly mythical figure, Russell’s long friendship with Dark Horse Records founder George Harrison is well documented, including his profound contribution to 1971’s landmark Concert for Bangladesh.
