John Leventhal was producer on Rosanne Cash’s string of remarkable albums in the 2000s, including "The List" (especially impactful on me) and the Grammy-winning "The River And The Thread" (2014). And then he made more honest, gorgeous albums for others - "This Is Where I Live by soul artist William Bell" in 2016 and Sarah Jarosz’s "World On The Ground" in 2020 - both major award winners. Amid it all, Leventhal was named Americana Instrumentalist of the Year in 2015. And yet for all of this, John Leventhal made it to age 70 having never released music of his own. That changed in late January with the release of "Rumble Strip", a collection of three songs and thirteen instrumentals, made by John working alone and playing all the instruments, not counting the duo vocals of Rosanne Cash on a couple of timeless cuts.
