专辑简介

'...I don't know what I'd do without me and you. When only a real hug will do, we'll sit over a mug or two, and gray skies turn a brilliant blue...' The title track of Dorothy LeBlanc's new offering, less than 3, sets the tone for the latest project from this 56-year-old mom turned singer/songwriter from Baton Rouge, LA. Her writing is at times playful (suppertime, sundae on Sunday), at times contemplative (so far, tree of soles part 1), but always filled with stories of real life, composed by this wife, mother, daughter and friend.

Beautifully produced by award-winning singer/songwriter Daniel Lee, also of Baton Rouge, these 16 original tunes flow effortlessly between Dorothy's very diverse stylings (jazz and folk guitar to boogie woogie piano). From start to finish, Daniel Lee's spot-on lead guitar and percussion, as well as Dave Hinson's driving bass and elegant cello and viola, bring the songs to life. Ben Herrington shines on suppertime and sundae on Sunday, with his excellent trombone stylings. Jazz Nurse Betsy Braud's lilting jazz flute on seaside symphony is a high point on this collection. No matter your age or musical proclivity, less than 3 is sure to be one that you listen to time after time.
