The Hard Truth - LP

Pain threaded with joy is the sound of survival. On The Hard Truth, Wynonna isn't letting go of either one, carrying everything she's endured and reinventing herself as an artist. This eleven-track tribute to deep sorrow and dogged persistence strips away layer after layer of the lush production that defined Wynonna's previous recordings, delivering in it's place her most personal and powerful work yet. ANTI- is proud to continue it's tradition of embracing American legends and giving them a platform to reach new heights. The Hard Truth has a major contributor in the form of producer Cactus Moser, Wynonna's partner in music and life. Wynonna and Moser shared songwriting duties on The Hard Truth, and the resulting tracks were recorded to capture and compliment the raw power he'd witnessed decades ago. What they've created together is an unvarnished elegy to the dead and the missing, an album that pays tribute to choosing love in the face of suffering. Through instrumentation and arrangements unlike any record in Wynonna's four-decade career, The Hard Truth rolls in like a night train hitting listeners on the blind side.
