Title: Leon Redbone – Double Time
Year/Genre/City: 1977, Jazz, Toronto, ON
Matrix #: BS2971
Condition: G+ (shows wear; plays well with light surface noise)

Cultural Facts:

Media Narrative: He kept his biography (even his age) deliberately vague, turning “who is Leon?” into part of the public persona.

Scene Ecology: In the ’70s roots-revival moment, he made pre-war songbook/vaudeville material feel viable on a major-label roster.

Notable Myths: Fans argued for decades about his real name and origin story; he rarely corrected it, letting the legend travel with the records.
