Talkin’ Ugly Truth, Tellin’ Pretty Lies, the latest effort by Bruce Sudano, has a ropy, thick bass line and a call-back to the high-water mark of 1970’s soul. The call-and-response presented here pushes the track into rarified air. The inclusion of gospel-esque organ at the back of the track makes the effort even more heady. Listeners will have to put Talkin’ Ugly Truth, Tellin’ Pretty Lies on multiple times before hearing each twist and turn that Sudano has included within. The luxurious production both ensures that the track has the crispness of radio-ready fare all while keeping the sound period-accurate. Talkin’ Ugly Truth, Tellin’ Pretty Lies is a welcome addition to Bruce’s discography.
We previously covered Sudano’s Two Bleeding Hearts, It Don’t Take Much (Because I Do), The Mountain, Back In The Neighborhood, Keep Doin’ What You’re Doin’, and Make The World Go Away,
