What people are saying about 'Found & Lost' "Her debut CD introduces the sultry song stylings of Joanne Leblanc. The clean vocals and unique phrasings bring a fresh new style to traditional blues rhythms. From upbeat to back alley her voice glides through the tight rhythm section like a bird on flight. Although a new comer to the recording industry, this CD will prove she is a force to reckon with. " J.C.
