#13 Top Album *Endless Grace

 


Socially relevant, deeply personal, the album speaks to our everyday lives and offers us hope.  Deidre has always been an artist that challenges often-stereotypical perceptions to music by writing and singing from her heart. I found Endless Grace to be one of the most rewarding albums I’ve heard in a long time
-Sing Out!
