“…Hope extends an aptly optimistic message, Lauderdale serving as a philosopher-cheerleader…” –No Depression
“Leave it to Lauderdale, one of this generation’s top songwriters, to perfectly capture the many emotions of our pandemic-induced collective state of mind and take us to the other side smiling.” –Glide Magazine
Of the album, Lauderdale comments, “I wanted to get a musical message out there during this time of what we’ve all been going through, about the hope for better days ahead. If we can find any glimmers of hope, that really helps get you through another day.”
