Hagerstown, MD — Award-winning, recording artist Loretta Hummel releases her new studio album, “Sweet Spirit Comfort Me” The album represents a sought after vocal harmony of old country gospel and bluegrass music. Hummel’s lyrics express the depth and richness found in life as her heartfelt songs are about local life, friends, love and Christian faith. Paul Mullan, Station Operations Manager of WMSG Radio Station, 1050 AM, states “We’ve all heard of people who wear their heart on their sleeve. Well, Loretta puts her heart in her voice. Her lyrics are some of the most penetrating I’ve heard, and her songs mean so many different things to so many different people. She’s a joy to be around and a joy to listen to.”
Hummel wrote all the new and original songs for her eighth album, “Sweet Spirit Comfort Me”, which was recorded at River Track Studio located near the Country Music Highway in Kentucky. Studio engineers Otis Lynn Dillon and Robert Maynard not only recorded and mixed the album but also provided some instrumentation. Hummel says, “I am very pleased with Otis’s banjo and mandolin playing and I’m happy to have bluegrass musician Ron Stewart of Indiana playing the fiddle on this album.”
Cuts from the album’s 11 tracks include, “Garrett County Memories” in which words of imagery evokes reminiscence of the local landscape and pleasant memories. “I Know Jesus Is My Savior”, is one of her several songs that share the word of the gospel. This new album reveals some of Hummel’s talents: A light bit of yodeling, a Christmas song, and even a soldier’s song are included. A tribute to our men in service, “God Bless the Soldiers”, has the voice of a soldier’s personal plea for God’s blessing.
