 Carl Sonny Leyland

Carl Sonny Leyland's Blues   digital album

(Self-issued)



Admittedly, the Recommended list below isn't fully accurate, in that all 15 selections harbor fascinations worth appreciation. No words need be spent introducing the starring 88s maestro; Carl's renown is already global. Suffice it to say, a million roots-rhythm aspirants, going to town on a million ivories for a million years, would only be wasting their time striving to top these improvised hots and colds. Roll 'em, Carl.

Recommended: "Bouncin' Boogie," "Badland Meander," "Just Raggin'," "Deep, Dark, and Stormy," "Strolling Through Life," "Gyrate at a High Rate,"  "Enchanted Drifter," "Good King Albert," "8 Bars to Home,"  "CSL Walks the Boogie"

No related Videos were available at presstime. Here's Carl at the 2024 San Francisco Boogie Woogie festival. And here's another clip.
