If only judged by its guitar introduction, handled by Morris Dollison, Jr., Maceo Woods’ “Good-Bye Loneliness” could be characterized as a blues song. Like the majority of the album which bears its name, the track bears enough musical resemblance to the music of juke joints and parlors to provide an unmistakable contrast to its richly sanguine content.

Relying heavily on organ, guitar and bass, the album may, at points, sound downtrodden. But its messaging constantly reminds the masses to look to the sky for inspiration. As is customary with Woods releases with his Christian Tabernacle Concert Choir, soloists are given opportunity to extend the ensemble’s reach. None rise to the occasion with the same effectiveness as Alfredia Burton and Doris Sykes, who ring every bit of their fervor on consecutive songs “More and More Like Jesus” and “Through It All.”
