T-Bone Burnett – Truth Decay – Vinyl Record
Truth Decay is an album by the American singer-songwriter and musician T-Bone Burnett. Released in 1980, Truth Decay is a notable work in T-Bone Burnett’s discography within the folk rock and Americana genres.
T-Bone Burnett is known for his unique blend of folk, rock, and roots music, often characterized by his distinctive vocal style and introspective lyrics. ‘Truth Decay’ reflects his songwriting skills and ability to craft emotionally resonant songs.
Despite critical acclaim as a performer, the rootsy singer/songwriter T-Bone Burnett earned his greatest renown as a producer, helming recording sessions for acts ranging from Roy Orbison and Elvis Costello to Counting Crows and Sam Phillips.
Born Joseph Henry Burnett on January 14, 1948, in St. Louis, MO, he grew up in Fort Worth, TX, soaking in the area’s indigenous blend of blues, R&B, and Tex-Mex sounds. Instead of attending college, he opted to open his own Fort Worth recording studio, while also performing in a series of blues bands; in the early ’70s he relocated to Los Angeles, producing sessions for Glen Clark and Delbert McClinton.
The album’s title, Truth Decay, is a reflection of societal issues, personal introspection, or the passage of time. T-Bone Burnett’s lyrics delve into themes of love, loss, and the human experience.
While T-Bone Burnett might not have achieved the same level of commercial recognition as some other artists, Truth Decay remains a respected release within the folk rock and Americana scenes. The album’s combination of thoughtful songwriting, heartfelt performances, and a mix of rock and folk influences contribute to its appeal among fans of roots-based music.
