This album is a pure gem. How almost nobody discovered this only solo album from Josh Leo I really don’t understand. Only released on vinyl and tape in 1983 and it has never been re-released. Leo was born in Des Moines, Iowa, but was raised in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1973, he moved to Chicago, Illinois and subsequently became a guitarist of the short-lived Eddie Boy Band. In 1979, four years after the Eddie Boy Band broke up, Leo began touring with J. D. Souther as a guitarist. And over the next few years, he would record and tour with the likes of Kim Carnes, Jimmy Buffett and Glenn Frey. He produced Timothy B. Schmit’s 1984 album, Playin’ It Cool and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s 1987 project, Hold On.
Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, Leo wrote songs and produced albums for many country music artists and groups, such as Alabama, Restless Heart, Kathy Mattea, Reba McEntire and LeAnn Rimes, among others.
Rockin’ On 6th is an album which should be recommended to fans of Eagles, Jimmy Buffett, Warren Zevon etc.
