John Leventhal is brilliant. I first heard his playing on Shawn Colvin's "Few Small Repairs" and have been haunted by him ever since. Excellent show Zac!
This is fabulous news. John is such a consistent talent and has been involved in so many great projects. His previous side project, Mojo Mancini was a hidden treasure. So excited to hear his solo album.
Brilliant interview Zac! John is an amazing musical talent who wears more hats than anyone else I’m aware of in the music business! Thanks for this John and Zac! It’s been a real pleasure!
Thanks for posting this video. Great interview. Mark is a master Americana guitar player and so soulful & bluesy. I love his record productions. If you have a decent set of ears, you can always tell when it's his work..same with his guitar playing. I saw him with Rosanne Cash & he is a fine pianist too & an astute musical arranger. It was so much fun to meet him & Rosanne after the show. They were both nice to us.
One of my absolute favorite producers & guitar savants. I knew him from Shawn Colvin's "Steady On" then Mark Cohn - then I was hooked! If I could choose any producer in the world to work with, it would be him! Thanks for the interview, Zach!
John Leventhal is for me one of the unknown greats! since Marc Cohns albums I'm a designated follower. I learned a lot of him in my own productions..... Always listen to his productions under a headphone!!! Hats off!!!!
I’ve always loved his playing. I first became aware o him on an old Eric Anderson album that he Produced. I met him briefly at the Richmond Folk Festival that his Wife was the main attraction . He was walking around with a big Lemonade. He was very friendly, even let me take his picture.
Does anyone know the settings for this videos opening riff? The guitar used along with the Amp & slide used glass or brass. I just love that opening tone/sound.
Zac, great as always. When John plays live which pickup would he send to the FOH and which pickup would go to the amp? Thanks in advance mate. I'm not sure he mentioned that. For example would the soundhole pick up go to the amp and the undersaddle to FOH?

Thanks for the interview. I’ve really looking forward to the album as I’ve been collecting John’s IG snippets over the years. Great musician. ❤
Fantastic ❤

Looking forward to this album

A couple of days ago, I listened to the album straight through. It’s wonderful. Quirky, sparse, and effortlessly tasteful. Thanks JL.
⚓️ Thanks John 🌈 Zac 😎

Hope he performs it live

I have no desire right now to do anything but woodshed.
Is he using open C tuning for JL's Hymn No.2? You touched on it but cut it short. Great interview!
yes

Al Perkins, Fender lap steel, Son of Hyde pedal, metal bar
@@TruetoneFX Thank you so much!

Soundhole goes to amp
I hope you get your pedal board back Zak... or is that the old one hahaha, (they're both identical)
You are right, I have 2
What amp does he like to use on stage?
Hot Rod Deville
I have the exact same inner critic, but don’t have a fraction of John’s talent. Talk a bad combo…
