Leslie Mendelson returns with her fourth studio album, After The Party. For this latest effort, she collaborates with not one, but three producers: the legendary Peter Asher (James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt), the young, in-demand Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Sara Bareilles, Sara Watkins) and her longtime songwriting partner, three-time Grammy Award-winner, Steve McEwan. Recorded at Jackson Browne’s studio Groove Masters in Santa Monica, CA, Leslie is joined by an ace band featuring guitarists Waddy Wachtel and John Jorgenson, bassists Leland Sklar and Derrick Anderson, and drummers Jim Keltner and Abe Rounds.
Throughout After The Party’s ten tracks, Mendelson crafts a distinctive mash-up of the folk-rock Laurel Canyon sound and the downtown grit and sharp wit of Brooklyn, a place she has called home for over two decades now. There’s a refreshing realness and effortless musicality that feels both nostalgic and new, notably on the single “Rock And Roll On The Radio."
