"LeBlanc's songwriting is the biggest surprise and strength of TRACKS from Grasse Circle. They're a mix of folk, blues... and maritime songs falling somewhere in between. What he captures is a broad slice of New Brunswick's history and life. He's tied into a lot of traditions, Acadian, sea-faring, woods-working....hardworking tales about steam trains, sea-captains...nature. The fibre of New Brunswick's past and present. If any writer has a handle on what the New Brunswick experience is, it's Eric LeBlanc."
