Patrick Leonard Talks With Bob Lefsetz About "It All Comes Down to Mood" (and his long and amazing career)

a great interview by Bob, well worth the listen time!

Patrick Leonard and his wife Anna stopped by today (she piloted her plane to Teterboro airport) to discuss promotional plans for the soon to be available album It All Comes Down to Mood, which debuted July 26th on Apple Music and is available for pre-order at Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct and Elusive Disc. The couple also got a chance to hear the album on my system.

After playing most of side two of the four sides, Patrick said he wants to mix his next record here. He was thrilled by how the album sounded here. Then he requested Abbey Road. After a few minutes he exclaimed "I've never heard the Beatles before!". He liked it.

Bob Lefsetz's podcast interview with Patrick debuted today and if you're a fan of Patrick's work with Leonard Cohen, or Roger Waters, or Madonna, or Michael Jackson or Toy Matines or anything else he's been involved with over the years, you're sure to enjoy the conversation. That's the Apple link.

    You kidding?

    I’ve been keeping an eye out for when the vinyl is available.

    Leonard’s work is amazing. Working with Waters we all know was a match made in heaven. But through my wife’s influence I have a number of his Madonna collaborations on vinyl that I “must” play for her periodically, that honestly actually sound fantastic!

    I will absolutely check this out NOW

    Thank you!

    I received my vinyl copy this week, and just finished listening to it. This is a really good record, and it sounds great! This is such a pleasant surprise, because I knew nothing about it. Thanks for turning me on to this gem!

    also available on Bandcamp. Does he get a better cut if we buy it there instead of one of the other resellers?

      He probably makes the most if you buy direct from him. https://store.patrickleonardmusic.com/products/patrick-leonard-it-all-comes-down-to-mood-1

    I find it somewhat disconcerting that with all Bob has written about Roger Waters' anti-Israel sentiments he did not ask Patrick Leonard what he felt about it yes?
