Lo Steele: Only A Drop
by Doug Collette
Befitting the album title, Only A Drop is a captivating but parsimonious depiction of Lo Steele's musical attributes.

In singing “Greenz," Steele sounds as sultry as the definition of the word ever implied. Meanwhile, she finds a firm foundation for her radiant voice on the backbeat of drummer ...

Oddly enough, Steele just might find more success beyond that less-than-credible program; several tracks on this collection have already found their way onto regional and even U.S. radio, FM and online. Steele has a warm, ...
