DESCRIPTION:
Melissa Ferrick performs "Pity Song" from her album THE TRUTH IS at Redstar Union in Cambridge, MA. May 29, 2013.

THE TRUTH IS marks a genuine departure for prolific indie-rocker Melissa Ferrick, as she ventures into Alt-Country/Americana terrain. Written and sequenced chronologically, it's a candid record set to a sweeping soundtrack, layering pedal steel guitars and background harmonies into some of the lushest, brightest songs of her 20-year career. THE TRUTH IS features a stellar lineup of musicians including Richard Gates (Suzanne Vega, Richard Thompson), Natalia Zukerman (Janis Ian, Willy Porter), and Grammy® Award Winner Paula Cole. Mixed by Grammy® Award Winner Trina Shoemaker (Sheryl Crow, Brandi Carlile).
