'Tell The Truth' is an autobiographical tour-de-force through the life and times of an archetypal Texas Blues legend with all the highs and lows that inevitably accompany this time honored path. Lance Lopez has been on a slow, steady climb up the mountain to the Blues rock hall of heavyweights for the last decade, and this album declares his arrival.This record rocks. Hard. It hits the ground in fourth gear, and it never looks back. The grooves are a mile wide, and hit like a sledge hammer. And while there is great guitar, as you’d expect, all over the record, Lopez never overplays - he’s in all the right places, but he lets the songs breathe, and the arrangements allow for the pianos and organs, howling harps, and some great backing vocals to shine through.
