Sunny Sweeney (Country)
In an age of tweaked-up, sugar sweetened, studio-manufactured singers,
Sweeny fits like a round peg in a square hole. . . .
Her pure, natural sound -- just as country and wide-open as her
East Texas homelands . . .” TUSCALOOSA NEWS
“Sunny Sweeney is proof that it is absolutely possible to look like Faith Hill and still sing like Wanda Jackson.”

The Country Side of Lazy Lester on his 75th birthday
Back when blues was king and South Louisiana was the breeding ground for a blast of some of the most memorable American music ever recorded, at the heart of it was Lazy Lester. Those days are gone, and so too are most of its luminaries. And yet Lester carries the tradition almost single-handedly around the world several times over each year. As a true living legend, his talents are as much in demand as ever

Leon Russell (Rock)
Leon Russell is a music legend and perhaps the most accomplished and versatile musician in the history of rock 'n roll. In his distinguished and unique 50 year career, he has played on, arranged, written and/or produced some of the best records in popular music. As a songwriter, Leon's songs have hit the charts across all genres and have been covered by a diverse range of artists. Ray Charles recorded 'A Song For You', B.B. King had a hit with 'Hummingbird', The Carpenters with 'Superstar' and Joe Cocker with 'Delta Lady'. The Carpenter's cover of "Superstar", written by Leon and Bonnie Bramlett, went to #2 on the pop music charts. George Benson won the "Record of the Year" Grammy in 1976 for his cover of Leon's song, "This Masquerade", and it became the first song in music history to hit #1 on the jazz, pop and R&b charts. catch him live and still playing your favorites here at Knuckleheads
