There's no shortage of great new releases this summer; Truth to Tell is certainly one of them.
This is an album that looks back over a career. There are some great songs here and I think this is Steve Oilstone's strongest album since Ziggurat. In many ways it is also his simplest for a while. Most of the tracks have a basic accompaniment of bass and maybe melodeon but there are a far few tracks that are just of Steve and guitar.
It is a mellow album but not saccharine in any way. His voice sounds good and the guitar playing as good as ever — his new 10 string guitar sounds awesome. It is also beautifully recorded by Splid Studios in Haworth.
A lovely record.

Jo whoever he is.
