A private press psychedelic Christian rock record made during a big old mid-life crisis. The cover is incredible, the garage rock slaps, the horns are deliciously lofi, the drums are killer and the vibe is a total heavenly trip.
A real people music masterpiece, D.R. Hooker’s 1972 debut meets at the be-in of drug-addled hippy psychedelia and evangelical Christianity. Conjuring visions of an L.S.D.-damaged Frank Sinatra or Lou Reed playing the role of a divorced suburban dad, The Truth is a religious midlife crisis disguised as a private press LP. Forge your own chains, indeed.
