O’s Notes: Lois Deloatch is a seasoned contralto vocalist, philanthropist, songwriter, and radio hostess. Love Always is a collection of warm, spiritual songs that inspire hope, based on memories in her life and southern upbringing. We enjoyed “Friendly Fire”, “Occasional Brilliance”, “Souls Remember”, and “Into The Fire“. Freshly arranged, timeless classics like “Amazing Grace” and “Lift Every Voice And Sing” always resonate when done well, as they are here. The messages are plentiful, wholesome with a well-integrated band that makes this album one to listen to and absorb.
