This review is from: Do Whatcha Do (Audio CD)

Harkening back to a time when music wasn't as compartmentalized or bogged down with pointless marketing clichés comes Cold Truth, a good old fashioned kick ass band straight out of America's backwoods.

On their second album Do Whatcha Do this seasoned quartet from Murfreesboro Tennessee does exactly that, delivering thirteen high octane tracks in a straight ahead, no frills classic rock style that's guaranteed to make you believe in the healing powers of rock `n roll once again . The band has concocted a winning formula by serving up a hearty dose of bluesy mid tempo rockers mixed with quieter introspective numbers.

Whether they're tearing up the white lines on the highway with "Diesel" and "Payin' Dues" or getting low down and dirty on a track like "Shakedown", the heavy guitars, soaring harmonies and killer vocals are a winning combination that will have you hooked right from the onset. The bottom end which is held down formidably by bassist Abe White and drummer Matt Green allows guitarist Kurt Menck plenty of space to fire off his impressive arsenal of tasty riffs and melodic leads. Vocalist Thane Shearon is the man out front and this guy can just flat out sing as he belts his way through the rough & tumble attitude of "Cold As Hell" and "Gimme Some" with remarkable ease. However, on slower numbers "Peace With Me" and the brilliant closing number "Light My Way" his voice resonates with a natural timbre and soulful emotion that many singers would die for.

There isn't one ounce of filler on this baby. Every single cut on Do Whatcha Do is an anthem celebrating the glory days of the gritty sounds of 70's bands like Free and Humble Pie. If you dig the music featured here on Classic Rock Revisited then I'd strongly urge you to get behind these guys and pick up a copy of Do Whatcha Do pronto, because Cold Truth is keeping the flame alive!
