The Family & Dylan LeBlanc - Delusions of Grandeur (feat. James LeBlanc, Angela Hacker, Bay Simpson & Brad Crisler) (2026)

The Family, like all families, has been through a lot in our time. We have battled the demons of addiction, depression, doubt, anxiety, fear, and anger and come out the other side. We have also reveled in the joys of faith, hope, love, music, laughter, camaraderie, and fellowship. We’re a tight-knit unit. We are best friends.

We have battled, and continue to battle, the music business in all of its complexities. The fight for relevance and significance.

We wake up every day with songs in our heads. Maybe a title, a riff, a melody. We live this thing day in and day out. It’s our day job. It is our night job. It is our job in every waking moment. We have laid it all on the line for music with no regrets. We’ve earned the respect of our peers.

Coming from a long line of musicians, writers, and artists who toiled away in obscurity… We do it for them. We do it for the love of it. We do it for Johnny. We were born to be musicians, writers, and singers.

What would you do for your family? We would do anything for ours. Of course, we would die for each other — that’s a given. But much more importantly, we have decided to live for each other. We have been to the brink and back again.

And so, we bring you this record that we call “Delusions of Grandeur.”

Conceived with the help of FAME Studios president and our great champion, longtime friend, and brother from another mother, Rodney Hall. Brought to fruition by our great friend and record producer, musician, and songwriter extraordinaire, Brad Crisler. He is also our brother.

This record will be released on the newly formed Big Black Cow Records, founded by our son-in-law/brother-in-law Jesse “Chunk” Walker and our granddaughter/niece Scarlett Walker.

This is an inspired set of songs born in the not-too-distant past. Coming to a turntable near you in the not-too-distant future. Drop the needle. We believe it to be some of the best work we’ve ever done. We believe in it. We hope you love it too.

We proudly stand on the shoulders of the Muscle Shoals giants that came before us. And we hope to be an inspiration for those who come after us.
