Life and Love (Leon Russell album)

Life and Love is an album by singer and songwriter Leon Russell.

Russell used electronic drums on this album for the first time, courtesy of Roger Linn who had invented the Linn LM-1, a pioneering version of the drum machine, making Russell an early user of this new instrument.

[2] After releasing Life and Love Leon Russell went on tour with the group New Grass Revival for two years.

[3] The Globe and Mail determined that "there is nothing here to compare with the tender charm of 'A Song For You' (which obviously was a lucky fluke) just a bevy of tedious tunes drawled in an irritating manner... Leon Russell should have been placed in a time capsule in 1970.

"[4] Country Music: The Encyclopedia reviewed Life and Love: "A new collection of Leon's came out on Paradises titled Life and Love, that was consistently strong in music and performance.
