Rhode Island girl’s homemade album of twelve folk originals presented with a melodic combination of acoustic guitars, flute and piano. Catholic apparently – she has a few initials after her name and ties to the Association Of Contemplative Sisters.
Several tracks have that pleasant female folksinger vibe, with moods ranging from the upbeat ‘In Quest Of Wisdom’ to the beautiful somber ballad ‘Lord, How You Must Love Me’. Some like ‘The Lord Has Done Great Things For Us’ and ‘The Lord Is My Light And My Salvation’ bring in six fellow Sisters on backing vocals. Viola on a couple tracks, trumpet on another.
