Nothing but the Truth (Mac McAnally album)

Nothing But the Truth is the fourth album by American singer Mac McAnally, released in 1983 on Geffen Records.

The album failed to chart. The single "Minimum Love" narrowly missed the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 41. However, it was a top 10 hit on the Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at No. 7.

Content and history

McAnally wrote the songs for the album over the course of two years. During this timespan, he also became a father for the first time, and his own father died as well. Keith Tuber of Orange Coast thought that the album reflected a theme of "compromise" given McAnally's life experiences leading up to its release. He also thought that it had a "fuller" sound than McAnally's previous works.
