I first heard The Lore Family early last year when a good friend recommended I give them a listen. Now, being a quartet guy my first thought was, “Yeah but, they’re not a quartet.” I hesitantly looked them up on YouTube and just picked the first song I found and that was “Free Indeed” and man! The first thing I noticed was the family harmony, of course, you just can’t beat it, but what rattled my cage was the sincerity I heard in their singing. As the music poured from my computer, I could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. They truly know the one of whom they sing. From that moment I was hooked on this Portsmouth, Ohio based group. The Lore Family is Darren, Sandy and their two children, Fayth and Samuel. The Lore Family began ministering in the Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia area, but are now featured on the well-known stages of gospel music. The Lore Family sing a mixture of new and classic Southern gospel favorites; as well as original songs written by Darren and you will find their music on the SGNScoops official chart. Their first Horizon Records release, “Hidden Blessings,” is much more than just a collection of eleven great songs, sung with perfect harmony. This project has opened doors and God has moved for The Lore Family in ways they never saw coming. This project is packed full of “Hidden Blessings” for this great gospel group. The project kicks off with the third radio release, “Didn’t He Promise,” a great little song about the faithfulness of God, never leaving us and providing mercy and grace each time we need it. Penned by Adam Bowman, Carolyn Cross and Donna Norton and moved from 66 to 22 on the SGNScoops national chart. Other songs on this album that follow the idea of God’s infinite power and mercy are “That Same Power,” that reminds us of the ever-watchful eye of the shepherd on the lives
