Truth (3)

Although Truth never officially released an LP while they were together, in 1995 a 68-minute CD was salvaged from 1969-70 recordings. Most of them were made for a soundtrack of an obscure film, with three other tracks coming from a Chicago studio session during the brief time in which Ray Elliott was in the band. Perhaps to the surprise of some listeners aware of Truth's Them connections, there's not much of a hard R&B-blues-British Invasion influence. It's far more reminiscent of late-'60s California guitar psychedelia, along the lines of some of the more economic and harmony-driven bands in that style, like Moby Grape and (more distantly) Love.

In this respect, Truth recall Fat Mattress (Noel Redding's group), another act with heavy British Isles roots that took major cues from West Coast harmonized psych, though Truth and Fat Mattress aren't extremely similar. Truth play late-'60s psychedelic rock with a breezy lightness, yet with some guts, anchored by extremely versatile guitar lines by the underrated Jim Armstrong. The songs might not be classic, but they're very pleasant go-with-the-flow period sequences of images, with one vocal (on "Blackboard Words") closely approximating the sound of late-'60s Roger McGuinn. On "Sonic Sitar," the group expands upon the raga-rock explored in the post-Van Morrison Them's best cut, "Square Room," and in fact "Archimed's Pad (Squared Room)" is an impressive instrumental remake of "Square Room" that's an underrated highlight of the whole raga-rock genre, with its hypnotic drawn-out interplay of drones and Indian-influenced guitar melodies. The three songs recorded with Ray Elliott on flute and piano go into jazzier grooves with good effect, adding nice icing to a record that's on the whole better (and certainly more consistent) than either of the late-'60s Them albums on which some of the Truth musicians played.

Truth (4)

Truth, a new band from Sweden. All songs are written by guitar-god Sven Cirnski who leaves you breathless. All vocals are done by David Fremberg (of the band Andromeda). The debut album, "Machine", was released in January 2008 on Grooveyard Records.

American rapper. Born December 15, 1976.

Truth (6) Christian Gospel

"During the late '60s, John Roger Breland had a dream of starting a Christian band. His goal was to share the message of the Gospel through music. In June of 1971 Breland's dream became a reality with the formation of the group, Truth, an acronym for "Trust, Receive, Unchangeable, True Happiness" in Jesus. The group performed its first tour with only 15 members. Some were barely out of high school. For the first several years of their existence, the group performed 400 concerts annually and traveled 50 weeks of the year. As Truth became more established, they performed 260 live concerts each year, and spent the rest of the time in recording studios. By the beginning of the 21st century, Truth had 22 members, and had traveled to all 50 American states and 21 different countries. The group had produced almost 60 albums and performed before more than ten million people in over 9,000 concerts. In 2000, Truth was accepted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. The Truth Legacy Collection was released in 2001, shortly after the group performed its farewell tour." from Diana Moes VandeHoef, All Music Guide

They have re-grouped for a 40th Annivesary Tour and with a new melody CD of their works. Several hit artists evolved from the TRUTH, such as Avalon, Natilie Grant and others.

Truth Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Peace, joy and love
Freedom in my soul
Jesus made me higher
Jesus made me whole
He gave me
Peace, joy and love
Freedom in my soul
Jesus love has brought me out

His love has made me whole
Well I've spent most of my life
Livin' in the way of sin
I had no happiness inside
I had no peace within
But then I met Jesus
He showed me a better way
Changed my life
Forgave my sins
and He turned my night to day
He gave me
Peace, joy and love
Freedom in my soul
Jesus made me higher
Jesus made me whole
Listen to me friend
Don't you turn Him away
Open up your heart to Him right now
Asking Him to stay
You'll find He alone
Can really satisfy
Give you all the meaning to life
and meet you on the day that you die
Peace, joy and love
Freedom in my soul
Jesus made me higher
Jesus made me whole
Peace, joy and love
Freedom in my soul

Jesus made me higher
Jesus made me whole
