Truth & Salvage let their roots show

Published January 12, 2011 5:00am ET



Truth & Salvage Co. is based in Los Angeles, but their signature sound is straight from the heartland and beyond — everywhere from Indianapolis to New Orleans to Tupelo, Miss., the birthplace of Elvis Presley. Perhaps that’s why the band’s rich sound caught the attention of Chris Robinson, co-founder and frontman of the Black Crowes, who produced the band’s self-titled debut album that was released in May 2010.

“When we first started out playing, we were opening up for the Black Crowes, so we had 30, 45 or 60 minutes [to play],” said Tim Jones, one of the four primary singer-songwriters in the band. “Now we’re headlining and … we’ve got a whole breadth of new material to uncover.”
