| | Son Seals Nothing But The Truth CD Son Seals Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
The grotesque cover illustration is an abomination, but the contents are right in the growling grizzly bear style that we've come to expect. Only four Seals-penned originals, but the R&B-laced "Life Is Hard" and "I'm Gonna Take It All Back" are quality efforts. So is his heartfelt tribute to Hound Dog Taylor, "Sadie." ~ Bill Dahl

Down Beat (11/94, p.66) - 3 Stars - Good - "...Seals sings with field-hollar intensity....His guitar work is searing and expressive....he strikes with no-holds-barred ferocity..."
Option (11-12/94, p.143) - "...Seals' sound is all Chicago barroom grit, just as much rhythm as blues, with a little rock 'n roll and a lotta soul....He always picks good material, writes a fair amount of it, and sings with the gruff roar of the Big Bad Wolf..."
Musician (12/94, p.94) - "...Seals delivers a neat summation of his two-decade career....NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH is a sharp, at times scathing entry by one of the genre's most soulful exorcists..." Nothing But The Truth Music Son Seals Nothing But The Truth Songs Nothing But The Truth Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  solid, giddy, energetic blues from son
This is a solid Chicago blues CD from Son Seals, but it isn't his very best, in my opinion. Son sings with passion, grit, and even an occasional laugh, which makes this release quite energetic and overall giddy. There are a couple of slow tunes, but most are faster-paced, hard-driving tunes. Son's guitar is as always intense, although on some tunes the licks are somewhat repetitive. Even so, I always enjoy listening to Son because his work is always from the heart, and you can feel it. If you're already a fan, get it. Otherwise, get either Lettin' Go (his latest and greatest) or Spontaneous Combustion Live (and Son is a different musician playing live!).

Founded in the bay area hills of Berkeley, California in 1982, vocalist Michael Coons and guitarist Aaron Jellum began forming the heavy metal band that would come to be known as LAAZ ROCKIT. These guys were young (Coons, at 17, was just finishing high school and Jellum, 18, was busy attending college and riding motorcycles), but they both knew the musical direction they wanted to pursue. After doing a few shows with various members in the burgeoning bay area metal scene, Coons and Jellum came across guitarist Phil Kettner and drummer Victor Agnello in late 1982 and early 1983. Bassist Willy Lange completed the true classic original line up later in 1983 that would record 4 albums and tour across the United States and Europe for the next 6 years.San Francisco produced many of the golden-era metal acts (most notably, Metallica, Testament, Exodus, and LAAZ ROCKIT) and provided LAAZ with a rabid fanbase that caught the record industry's attention in America in 1983. LAAZ ROCKIT signed with Target Entertainment (the label that released RATT's original EP) that year and recorded their first album, "City’s Gonna Burn" (still considered a classic) and released it in the spring of 1984. The album received great reviews and the tour in support of "City’s Gonna Burn" established LAAZ ROCKIT's live show reputation as one of the most energetic of the metal genre.In 1985, LAAZ released their 2nd album "No Stranger To Danger" and in 1986 made their first appearances in Europe supporting MOTORHEAD. This experience helped forge a new, heavier musical direction for the band and formed a unique relationship with European fans that has become legendary and still exists today.The heavier direction proved to be genuine with 1987's release of LAAZ's 3rd album, "Know Your Enemy". This record is widely considered the band's best, by both fans and critics. It was the band’s 1st worldwide release and songs like "Last ...
