NEW YORK (AP) — It's a little late for John Leventhal to be considered a hot young thing in music.
The thought of doing a solo record sort of creeped into my consciousness and, when the pandemic hit, I really couldn't avoid it.
AP: How do you think a first John Leventhal album would have sounded if you made it 50 years ago?
I don't think I would have made a good record 40 years ago because it wouldn't have been tempered by what I've learned.
It felt more like creating a product, like it was someone in the record industry's “good idea.” And it is a good idea.
