By my reckoning Carmel is now 80 yet clearly there's no stopping the veteran now she has discovered the joy of album making. As with her previous releases, 'The Colour Of His Love' was produced by Terry Bradford in his studio in France and benefits greatly from strong arrangements which stop such over-recorded songs like "In The Garden", "Morning Has Broken", "All Things Bright And Beautiful", "Amazing Grace" and "Nearer My God To Thee" from eliciting too much of that déjà vu feeling. Carmel sells the songs on the strength of her personality while the Bradford original, once a hit for Charlie Landsborough, is possibly the best track here. Country-flavoured easy listening music obviously isn't to everyone's tastes but considering the age of the singer this is remarkably good.
