This is Donjames LeBlanc first solo career album; it was recorded in 1976 at Calaart Studios in Regina, Saskatchewan and was published in early 1977.

Donjames LeBlanc is very proud of his first album and extra proud of the 4 songs he wrote for it: ‘All Things Are Done’, and ‘Hopin’ are vocals; ‘Back Up’ and ‘Lullaby Waltz’ are guitar instrumentals. ‘Lullaby Waltz’ is very popular. Some other songs on the album he did not write, but equally popular are ‘Are You Lonesome Tonight’ (vocal) and ‘Third Man Theme’ (guitar instrumental); they deserve special mention because they receive special treatment under the hands of the legendary Donjames LeBlanc. This is a good album and is also available on Compact Disc (20 tracks). It has 17 cuts on the vinyl album.

As mentioned, this was Donjames LeBlanc’s first solo recording. Amidst a multitude of interests and while holding down a full-time teaching job as a high-school teacher, he found time to share a diverse sampling of his music. In addition to an exceptionally fine Guitar style, the instrumental and vocal numbers on this album were selected to that they could be appreciated by all age groups. You will find this recording opens the door to some of the most popular tunes of the 50s, 60s and 70s. Then too, there are four original compositions guaranteed to capture your approval. Whether it be a ballad, a waltz, a country, a latin or a rock beat, this album is sure to please your musical taste.

"BACK UP" track 13 (digitally remastered) was released to Radio in May 2010.
