BATHURST, NEW BRUNSWICK Artist JP LeBlanc’s new album “All In My Blood” on the Acadian Connection label was produced by Grammy-winning Colin Linden, will be released nationally this summer.

The nine-song album, recorded in two sessions at a fairly fast clip in 2024 with A-list players at Linden’s 1,000 square-foot, standalone home studio Recorders Studios in Nashville, is the result of two years of intense woodshedding, and long-distance songwriting with Toronto-based music industry journalist Larry LeBlanc.

For the first session in April, backup was provided by multi-instrumentalist George Recile, one of New Orleans’ premier drummers, and Canadian bassist John Dymond. Colin himself played on all the tracks.

While the original musicians weren’t available for the second Nashville session the following December, Linden matched the quality of the earlier session by bringing in some equally heavy hitters, drummer Bryan Owings and bass player/educator/producer David Santos. Again Linden played guitar on all tracks.
