Truth is the fourth studio album by Israeli-American blues artist Guy King. Released in 2016, the album is a blend of blues, jazz, funk, and soul. King's vocals on the album were heavily influenced by Ray Charles's vocal stylings. Truth reached #1 at the Roots music report -Contemporary Blues Chart, and #5 at the Living Blues Chart. [1]
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]
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]
