This CD contains restorations (most from vinyl) of some of the recordings Leon has made
in Nashville from 1962 through 1983. We have done our best to clean up the
sound of them but a couple are still a bit scratchy. Great music though
and well worth a listen.

would like a chance to win this album.
Leon Seiter is a rare individual. He has made a living in music his entire adult life. Not many people can make that claim. We see so many ‘one hit wonders’ who have their fifteen minutes of fame and then disappear from music to work as accountants or at Burger King. You probably don’t remember or have never heard Leon’s name. But he has sang with some of the best. This CD contains some of the recordings that Leon
sang lead on over the years. Most were recorded in Nashville with Nashville’s best musicians backing him up. A couple of these tunes, like Rags to Riches or Mr. Jones may sound familiar to some of you. Leon had some success with these ‘singles’ and they received a fair amount of airplay back in their time. Unfortunately (or fortunately) Leon never made it big. But he didn’t let that stop him from pursuing his dream and living a very colorful life. We gathered these songs up from the old singles and albums that we could locate to create this collection. (The master tapes seem to have been lost over time.) We have applied the latest in digital restoration to get them sounding as good as ever. We hope you find them an enjoyable and entertaining stroll through recent history. Some of the musicians featured on these recordings are: Willie Akerman-drums, Tommy Allsup-guitar & bass, Fred Carter Jr.-guitar, Curley Chalker-Steel, D.J.
Fantania -drums, Doyle Grisham-steel, Roy Huskey Jr.-bass, The Jordanairs
-vocals, Kenny Malone-drums, Weldon Myric-guitar & steel, Bob Moore-Bass, Bill Prusell-piano, Leon Rhodes-guitar, Pig Robbins-piano, Geoff Seiter-guitar, Buddy Spicher-fiddle & cello, C.
Styrene -vocals and Wanda Vick-mandolin
