'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.
