Leon Russell aka Hank Wilson

“Rollin’ in my sweet baby’s arms.”When Leon stepped into his Hank Wilson persona, he wasn’t just covering country standards. He was honoring them. Recording under the name Hank Wilson, cutting classic covers, bringing that Oklahoma edge to traditional songs.And when you really dig into the catalog, it’s not even close.Leon was prolific. Across genres. Across decades. Studio work. Producing. Writing. Building bands.He knew how to pick talent too. He signed Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers early on.That show? Both bands were firing on all cylinders. From the outside it looked effortless. Behind the scenes, if you were a hired gun in those lineups, you knew you were standing inside something serious.That’s Leon. Vision, volume, and range. #HeresTheDealPodcast #LeonRussell #HankWilson #TomPettyAndTheHeartbreakers #RockHistory #CountryRock #OklahomaMusic #MusicLegends #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownen #oklahoma #oklahomacityLike, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.Follow & Connect: Max Baker Jr. Instagram @bmaddmaxx | Facebook @bmaddmaxx  Jeff Brownen Facebook @jeff.brownenHere’s The Deal YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@heresthedealokHere’s The Deal Podcast Website https://heresthedealok.comBuy Here’s The Deal Vintage & Collectables https://heresthedealvintagecollectables.comGet an Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Card https://medcardsmadeeasy.netConcert & Event Production Services https://bakerboyspro.comBuy Roadie CBD Balm & Oil https://bakersremedycbd.com
