Details: Amazon.ca The dramatic authority of Son Seals's guitar runs and gloriously gruff singing voice are well-displayed on his seventh recording for Alligator, issued in 1994. But this time around, the gritty musical excitement generated so naturally by the former drummer is undermined by the crisp soul-blues inflections of his accompanists, including two horn players from his band then, and by '90s production touches. After honing his fluent style in two decades as a leading exponent of Chicago blues, the transition to a contemporary blues sound isn't all that smooth. The heart-wrenching tone of his guitar and the plaintive edge to his voice make "I'm Gonna Take It All Back" stand as one of his deepest, ah, most truthful originals ever, canceling any need for Tony Z's thick organ chords and John Randolph's rhythm guitar filigrees. Still, a flawed Son Seals album is better than the best from most modern blues artists. --Frank-John Hadley Product Description 1994's Nothing But The Truth is the sixth studio album (and seventh album) by Son Seals. It was produced by Son Seals and Bruce Iglauer.
