Background
Truth is an album with a big band sound, that primarily is composed of two genres: jazz and Chicago blues.[2] The album contains, "blues, funk, soul, and everything in between."[3]
Release and reception
Dan Bindert of Chicago Blues Guide said, "...he (Guy King) plays it sophisticated and soulful, with a sense of taste and genuine feeling that's sometimes lacking in contemporary blues. It's easily the Israeli-born guitarist's most fully realized recording yet, with top flight production."[4]
John Mitchell of Blues Blast Magazine opined: "The style is relaxed with more than a touch of jazz in Guy’s playing, at times recalling George Benson in his prime."[5]
