Review

Let me tell you, Tony Joe White's "Closer to the Truth" is a real treat! After taking a break from recording to focus on songwriting, White's swamp rock sound is back and better than ever on this 1991 album. Recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama, "Closer to the Truth" is a delicious blend of blues, rock, and soul that'll get you moving.

The album's got some serious gems, like "Tunica Motel," "The Other Side," and "Bare Necessities," which showcase White's incredible storytelling skills and his signature blend of blues and rock. And get this - the album even features songs White wrote for Tina Turner, like "Steamy Windows" and "Undercover Agent for the Blues," which Turner previously recorded for her album "Foreign Affair."

All in all, "Closer to the Truth" is a testament to White's enduring talent and his ability to craft music that's both rootsy and relatable. No wonder it received rave reviews and sold over 250,000 copies in Europe and Australia! It's an album that'll make you want to spin it over and over again. - Sienna
