DeRobert & The Half-Truths /
I'm Tryin'
This album is a testament to a kind of working man's soul music.
All the musicians are working class people eking out a living with side jobs and long stints on the road. The recurring themes of poverty, heartbreak, and the perpetual struggle to stay on top, are heard clearly on this record.
