Lead Performance: Leon Russell; Genre: Country/Bluegrass

In his 40-year career, ragged-voiced piano-pounder Russell has run the gamut from Phil Spector sessionman to a hit writer (George Benson's ''This Masquerade''). Here he revisits his C&W alter ego, Hank Wilson, with a roundup of time-tested standards, including a duet of ''Okie From Muskogee'' with Willie Nelson. On Legend in My Time: Hank Wilson Vol. III, Ol' Greybeard and his ace band sound like they're having a blast at their favorite honky-tonk. B+
