A Feel-Good Film of an Underrated Album
KinoBuff20211 January 2024
'The Union' (2011) is underrated like Leon Russell. If you are a fan of Leon Russel or Elton John this documentary covering the making of the duo's "The Union" album this film is for you. Over ten years later (2023) this film like the album has remained an underrated classic for both of the artists long careers.

Its shot in a making of an album style as you see the album be created from start to finish. Elton John helps lead the way, but this film/album would be nothing without Leon Russell. Leon Russell remains underrated to this day despite he immense legacy and credit work since the 1960s.

Its for sure watching if you want to see someone work with their idol and if you want to see someone (Leon Russell) come back to life after a long retreat from the public spotlight.

WOW!!! what a show I was there Saturday night what a treat I have seen Leon many time 1st time for Elton something I will never forget. Thanks for the music guy's!!! The band was unreal true music folks. The sound was fantastic. I cant wait to see the guy's again Years ago I saw Leon he did a version of Pruple Rain that just killed would love to see that or a recording of that tune no one but Leon could blow Prince away. Maybee Elton & Leon could do this tune. Can't wait. Thanks... Leon is a true treasure to the music world his work with so many legendary musicians is unreal he deserves much more than he has received keep up the good work, he tours like a child I don't know how he keeps up with the tour shedule, Leon is truly the man.
