Chuck can be seen and heard on the David Gilmour: Live in Pompeii CD and DVD released in 2017.  He is also a ‘first call’ session musician, working in studios around the world.

He is the author of four books: Forever Green: The History and Hope of the American Forest; Between Rock and a Home Place (autobiography), The Tree Farmer (a children’s book); and his most recent is Growing A Better America, about “smart” growth. In Feb of 2012 Leavell received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy for his work with the Allman Brothers Band as well as an Honorary Ranger award from the US Forest Service. He is host of the TV program, America’s Forests with Chuck Leavell, on PBS. His documentary, Chuck Leavell: The Tree Man has been called by many the best “Rockumentary” ever.
