The Only Truth - MORLY GREY***

Peace Officer/You Came To Me/Who Can I Say You Are/I'm Afraid/Our Time/After Me Again/A Feeling For You/The Only Truth

The Only Truth was the debut album from the American psychedelic rock band Morly Grey. Although released in 1972 it is believed that it was recorded some years earlier as it sounds more aligned to the music from that period.

“The hallmarks of Morly Grey are skilful finger-picking, good chord knowledge, and lovely, ethereal vocal melodies that help make the music sound more like 60s psychedelia than 70s hard rock. However, that's not to say that they don't play with plentiful spirit and some aggression.”

“Psychedelic pop/rock with a great sense for melodies and compositions with a quite spacey sound at times. High catchiness and good musicianship all the way through the album.”

“Very power-trio style hard rock, with some searing guitar passages and some prog influences.”

“Pretty cool garage psych rock, not bad at all. Relatively clean guitar sounds (for this genre anyway), but a fairly punchy sound anyhow. Nice songwriting with some good melancholy touches, and the drumming sounds awesome.”

“Really good trippy rural hard rock. Inventive arrangements, cranked guitars and spooky organ swirls are all here. Really groovy stuff with more than a slight downer feel to it.”

“The obvious hit here is the single, Who Can I Say You Are? which is the most psych song and the catchiest as well.”

“A spiritual journey through the angst and heartache of the late 60s. Morly Grey take you with them on a mystical jaunt though time and space with screeching guitar solos, melodic bass runs and frantic drum rolls. This truly is a classic.”
