Leah Marr | Truth
After three singles on the Billboard Top 100, Leah Marr, singer/songwriter from Dallas, Texas created this powerful debut album, called 'Truth'. Nine of the ten songs on this album Leah wrote herself. Her music can perhaps best be described as deep soulful Southern rock with a female voice that exudes power. Think of a powerful and versatile female voice leading where emotional solos of heavy rocking, brooding guitars are woven around and about you and you will know what I mean. It's the kind of music on certain American FM radios of solid rock love. ‘Truth’, will do very well. Leah Marr musically is frequently compared to Melissa Etheridge and I can see that in genre. However, as a high degree of maturity in her performance Marr out shines Etheridge. The opening track "The Truth Shall Set You Free" is an instant hit as quick as The Black Crowes for example. There is no doubt that this song live, will provide fireworks. This also applies to good rock pieces like "Deep Down Inside" and "Your Everything" songs like these sung by Leah Marr will quickly get a concert hall on their knees. Lead Guitarist Andy Timmons, as solo guitar has played with Steve Vai, Ted Nugent, Joe Satriani. Andy cuts loose on his solos on ‘truth’ and he does not hold back with the great rock sound of wah-wah pedal rhythms. "Ready for Love" 70-ties A classic of Bad Company that Leah goes all the way and puts her mark on, making it like her own. Yet, this is the only cover and with that being said, it is also the longest track (7:43) on this album. Leah Marr sings with so much passion and reveals all emotions by the tone of her seductive, powerful voice at times so strong its rebellious, Leah’s voice is incredible and she always leaves a personal impression. She does so especially in the slowly unfolding "Missing You" and especially soulful "Lay Me Down", both belonging to the somewhat slower songs on this album. "Remember All The People" is dedicated to the victims of tragedy on American soil that hit New York’s Twin Towers September 11th, 2001 and is also a beautiful end to this CD that is great from the very beginning. In summary I can honestly say that 'Truth' is an incredible record undoubtedly that has a bright future waiting ahead for this talented singer, songwriter, live performer and recording artist. It's up to you now to know this powerful madam in Texas.

I just happened to catch Leah while waiting to see someone else. To my surprise...she STOLE the show from the one I went to see. I have tried to see her live whenever I can. The CD is my favorite. It's a perfect mix of rock and soul and her voice just hooks you! Seeing her live is the BEST! I've seen alot of live shows and she really knows how to engage the crowd and keep you mesmerized with her stage presence! Lynette F.

I saw her once and was hooked. This cd rocks but seeing her perform live is the best. She is a ball of energy that moves the crowd and keeps them engaged in the music. Her voice is amazing but her energy on stage is a knock out.
