Leon Redbone: On The Track
Tom Nolan, Rolling Stone, 18 December 1975
LEON REDBONE, according to the record jacket of his first album, is not to be confused or associated with the Epic recording artists Redbone. Hardly. He does have an affinity for such musical eccentrics as Michael Hurley, Geoff Muldaur and the misunderstood and underrated Tiny Tim; but those similarities are more cerebral than stylistic.
