John Leventhal To Release New “Found Album” of Instrumentals
In 2024, John Leventhal released his debut solo record, Rumble Strip. This album appeared over 40 years into a career during which he has produced music for Shawn Colvin, Sarah Jarosz, William Bell, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Jim Lauderdale, and his wife, Rosanne Cash. He also has written, recorded and performed with Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, Bruce Hornsby, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Ry Cooder, and numerous other artists.
The six-time Grammy winner won’t wait another 40 years for his follow-up as National Drift is set to come out on October 2. Leventhal describes this collection as a “found album” that emerged while recording improvisation for Cash’s upcoming Blue Note release. “When I Walked to the River,” the first track from National Drift is now streaming and also appears below.
This new record of instrumental music is an ideal complement to Rumble Strip. As Leventhal told Relix around time of that release, “I’m inherently a writer as well as a musician and a record producer. I write all the time and there’s a bunch of stuff that never found a home. Then, around 2015, I began asking myself: ‘What are you waiting for? Why don’t you see if you can make a recording on your own?’ When the pandemic came, I really didn’t have an excuse. Rosanne and I live in a brownstone in New York City with a recording studio that I built about eight years ago. Here we were with nowhere to go and a recording studio on the first floor. So I jettisoned all my preconceptions about what my record was going to be, and I just started writing and recording without editing myself in the hopes that some kind of direction would reveal itself.”

Watch Mitch Chakour and Lukas Nelson Join Tedeschi Trucks Band at Tanglewood
Tedeschi Trucks Band made their way to Lenox, MA last evening. There the 12-piece performed at Tanglewood’s Koussevitzky Music Shed. Lukas Nelson was back on board on open the show, which concluded in a memorable fashion.
The duodecet opened with “Crazy Cryin'” from TTB's latest release Future Soul. They also offered a version of Dolly Parton’s “Wildflowers,” which debuted last week in tribute to the late musician. Other highlights included versions of Gregg Allman’s “Come and Go Blues” and Boby Dylan’s “Tangled Up in Blue,” as well as pairings of “It Ain't Fair” with “Dreams,” as well as “I Want More” with “Beck's Bolero.”
The encore began with James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain,” a nod to the artist, who has long lived in the area. From there, Nelson emerged to join on a version of Neil Young’s “Helpless,” which he has played with the group a few times this summer. Then they moved into “Space Captain” another prior collab, which Joe Cocker performed on the Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour. One notable addition to the ensemble was Mitch Chakour. The keyboard player who is the father of TTB singer Alecia Chakour was Cocker’s Musical Director for five years in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Forever Grateful: Haight Street Art Center Spans Two Galleries to Celebrate One Vibrant Community
For most, the mention of Haight Street in San Francisco conjures ideas of freedom, love and unity rooted in a subculture devoted to pushing boundaries and experimentation. This sentiment permeates multiple forms of art, both visual and sonic, and continues to inspire in multiple settings.
The Haight Street Art Center has set out to preserve and present ephemera that celebrates the local and international allure of the neighborhood’s former inhabitants, and the city’s allegiance to the arts. Opened in 2017, the non-profit exhibition space and printmaking studio centers on posters, offering the public an opportunity to fully engage with the process and product—historical and contemporary.
The Center’s latest undertaking, Forever Grateful, is a presentation of historic keepsakes divided and displayed across two distinct spaces. The initial exposition began on July 3 [and runs through Sept. 20, 2026 where it is free and open to the public], paying tribute to the Grateful Dead's heritage through posters, handbills, historic instruments, and memorabilia, allowing folks to ponder the band’s aesthetics.

Mike Gordon, Tessa Gordan and Grace Potter Join Bob Wagner for the Honky Tonk Hoedown in Vermont
Last night, Bob Wagner & Friends performed at Essex Junction, VT’s Champlain Valley Exposition. Billed as the Honky Tonk Hoedown, the event featured multiple acts as well as an attempt to host the world’s largest square dance. And, as he hinted on social media before the show, Wagner brought out a few special guests during his set. Of note, Mike Gordon and his daughter Tessa emerged to play on “Foolish Heart,” “It Rains Everywhere I Go” and “One Of These Lonesome Mornings.” It was a natural collaboration: Wagner joined Gordon’s solo band last year and the two musicians have collaborated around Burlington, VT frequently ever since. In addition, another Vermont hero, Grace Potter sat in for a version of Dolly Parton’s “9 To 5,” which served as a morning tribute to the country singer.
Wager recently released his solo album, I’ve Been Down, which features several songs Gordon added to his setlists this year. He also stopped by Relix for a video session, which can be found here.
