About this album

Ring Of Truth is a sturdy classic rock statement from Mark Gillespie, balancing heartfelt songwriting with the direct, melodic drive that defined much early-1980s guitar rock. Issued in 1983, the album presents a tightly built set around the title track, “Thanks” and “Letting Go”, with an emphasis on plainspoken emotion rather than grand gesture. Its sound sits comfortably in the mainstream rock tradition while keeping a personal, reflective edge, which helped give the record lasting appeal among listeners drawn to sincere, song-led albums of the era. For fans of concise, rootsy rock with memorable hooks, it remains an appealing snapshot of its time.
