First released in 1977, Willie Wright’s Telling The Truth is a soul and funk treasure that captures the warm, mellow spirit of its era. Wright’s earthy vocals blend effortlessly with flute accents, soulful guitar from Herry Jensen, and the dynamic drumming of George Bragg, creating a timeless sound rooted in personal reflection and melodic depth.
Highlights like “Nantucket Island,” “I’m So Happy Now,” “Indian Reservation,” and “It’s Only Life, That’s All” showcase Wright’s intimate songwriting and relaxed grooves. Tracked in a single day with minimal overdubs, Telling The Truth stands as Willie Wright’s most inspired moment, delivering heartfelt stories and soothing melodies that resonate with soul aficionados and new listeners alike.
