The Sons of Truth crossed religious subject matter with a supremely grooving 70s-funk flair and released one masterful album for the Stax subsidiary Gospel Truth, 1972’s A Message From The Ghetto. Don’t be fooled by the down-and-out vibe of the album cover – between the sweet-soul tinged vocal harmonies and the wah-wah-laced grooves, the Sons of Truth covers all the bases here, turning in a well-rounded set of uplifting soul music no matter how you slice it.
