Patty Loveless has always had an attractive voice, able to turn pretty melodies into hits, but only in the past few years has she acquired the emotional depth of country's greatest singers. That maturity sets the stage for The Trouble with the Truth. Her husband, former Emmylou Harris bassist Emory Gordy Jr., is the producer, and he keeps the arrangements lean so his wife's stronger, more open voice has room to maneuver. The couple has selected smart, tuneful songs about troubled adult relationships by Jim Lauderdale, Matraca Berg, Gary Nicholson, and Richard Thompson, and Loveless expertly juggles the mixed feelings that accompany so many broken hearts. --Geoffrey Himes

This is one of her best CD's. "A thoundan times a day" is my fav. song. A lot of very good songs here that did not get on her "Classic" CD in 1999. Whitch is why you shound not buy her grestest hits CD "Classic".

This is one of Patty's more successful albums and it's easy to see why.
Included are the big hits Lonely Too Long,A Thousand Times A Day,You Can Feel Bad and She Drew A Broken Heart-the last 2 are excellent uptempos.
There's also the beautiful ballad To Feel That Way At All,you'll fall in love with this one.
Patty always picks songs with lots of depth and emotion.And she sings them like a country angel!This is a must to any country collection...

Patty's Best

Mature, when applied to this album, is not a code word for 'boring'.
Let's start with the title cut, a rueful rumination on conscience, deception and how the truth (as I learned the saying growing up in North Carolina) will always out. The guitar lick that opens the song sounds like the big, empty skies of the American West, and the production leaves plenty of room for Patty's voice to bring out a spectrum of emotional color.
On to 'You Can Feel Bad', an uptempo song with a wise, strong narrator at the center. And maybe wisdom is the unifying factor on this group of ten great songs. A singer with less depth (say a one-note wonder like Gretchen Wilson or the 'higher volume means more emotion' style of Leann Rimes) could have hit the notes in 'You Can Feel Bad' but they'd never be able to mix heart-ache, irony and strength like Patty does.
Spend some time, a lot of time, with 'To Feel That Way at All' - the most extravagantly romantic country song I've ever heard (with the possible exception of Rosanne Cash's 'I Can't Resist'). You will relive the times you heart has ruled your life, and you will come to appreciate those times even more.
I've only touched on three of the ten songs, but every one on the album stands out in it's own way. Patty sounds so confident in her voice and uncannily embodies all the emotions she sings about. I've only heard her stronger on 'Mountain Soul'. Buy The Trouble With the Truth. You will not be disappointed.

WOW!!! Patty Loveless' "The Trouble With the Truth" is simply AMAZING!!!! Perfect from start to finish. Not even one single filler in this album. Her voice shines on this album... like on every album Patty has ever released. I LOVE "Tear Stained Letter," it's a great song and when I saw her live she opened with this song. The title hit "The Trouble With the Truth" is another awesome slow song on this album. "You Can Feel Bad" too is great... the result it being a #1 hit on the Country charts for Patty. "Everybody's Equal in the Eyes of Love" is a nice uptempo song to change the pace of the album which shows Patty's rocking side and "She Drew A Broken Heart" is a very fun song to listen to and a pure breath of fresh air. This album is a must for any country music fan's cd collection. This album is solid proof of why Patty was named the coveted ACM and CMA Female Vocalist of the Year respectively for the year 1996. Go Patty!!!!

Still on a roll, Patty Loveless released THE TROUBLE WITH THE TRUTH in early 1996, and the album spawned some more hit singles for her to put under her belt. The album depends mostly on ballads, though there are some nice uptempo songs thrown in for good measure. The first single, the Matraca Berg penned "You Can Feel Bad", was an instant hit for Loveless. The album also features one of my favorite ballads, "Lonely Too Long", about two people who give into passion then justify it by saying they were lonely too long. It was also a single, and a big hit. "A Thousand Times A Day", a smoldering ballad, was the second single, about not being able to get over someone. It was before recorded by George Jones, who she later dueted with on the 1997 song "You Don't Seem To Miss Me". "She Drew A Broken Heart" was also a single, a fun uptempo song. The album is aptly titled, as the songs seem to fit under that umbrella of what truth is, and what it means. Another highlight is the ballad "I Miss Who I Was With You", "To Feel That Way At All", and the positive album closer "Someday I Will Lead The Parade". The mark of a good album is, the non single tracks, could have easily worked as singles. Overall another strong album from Loveless.
