5.0 out of 5 stars Finally - real rock n roll is back, with a fresh blues sound, September 29, 2004

If you're like me, you've been longing for some great new band to come along and play real rock and roll...for so long, I've only listened to my cd collection or classic rock stations - nothing new has done it for me for a while...but then one night I stumbled upon an online post for Tony C and the Truth...followed the link to their website, heard Little Bit More start up, let it loop for nearly an hour, then bought the CD right away.

This is the kind of music that gets in your veins - it's outrageous rock mixed with the blues and a fresh unique twist for a sound all their own. Tony's voice is amazing, DJ Prestige is quite the talent, and the rest of the band rocks!

Once you put this cd in, you'll never take it out. Best new music in years!

This album is incredible. It never, ever leaves my cd player! I'd heard the band featured on "Las Vegas" on NBC, then again on ESPN's "Ultimate Highlight" and couldn't stop looking out for them. Tony C's voice takes listeners to a southern-blues infused, rock-guitar driven heights. "Little Bit More" is sure to be a summer hit. "Who I Are" straight rocks, and I find myself blasting it as I drive, top down, through the neighborhood. Finally, "No Pain" is a pleasant surprise, as it's bluesy rifts make me feel every note deep in my soul. Oh yeah, I also managed to catch them playing a club in NYC. Tight. Enough said.

I'm a singer/guitarist in a rock and roll band, and while I've pretty much given up on rock radio playing anything new that's worth a crap (something besides Godsmack, Linkin Park, ewwwww...) I do get introduced to a lot of new bands when we go on the road, either by seeing them, playing on the same bill with them, or someone in another band giving me the good word on them. The latter is how I was told about Tony C and the Truth. I got to talking with a drumer in another band and we both agreed that we were pretty much fed up with the direction rock radio seemed to be going (at least in our homestate of Colorado, where the new rock radio stations seem to have a playlist that consists of maybe five different bands, all of which pretty much suck horribly), and how nice it was when we actually heard a new band playing real rock music. He told me about this great hard-rock-blues band outta New York called Tony C And The Truth. Trusting this dude's judgement I bought the CD as soon as I could find a copy.

This guy Tony is a much needed shot of good surly charisma that rock music has been long overdue for. His uber-rasp vocals, delivered with the street-wisdom and finesse of some the greatest in blues, coat the endless barrage of infectious hooks that are this debut album. The DJing that I would normally have found irritating is perfectly in place, the ballads aren't wussy, and the rockers are just plain ol' dirty fun.

If you still like good rock n' roll with a hefty helping of blues, funk, and urban grit this is a very sound purchase.
