My personal review and reflection:
A nice old album. Music from way back... when I was young! Leon Russell has a terrible-wonderful voice. It's hard not to like it. Eric is on two tracks according to Marc Roberty. According to the sleeve, Eric is not on the album at all! On "Alcatraz" Chris Stainton is featured on guitar!?!? I prefer to believe Marc Roberty.
