Truth or Dare 3:59 — — — — — Singer/guitarist/producer Lucio Rubino’s eponymous solo debut CD reflects a complex journey from recovery from sex addiction and personal loss to new love, marriage and fatherhood. — — — With his steadfast wife, Savannah Zara providing harmony on three tracks, Rubino delivers an expressive and diverse combination of modern folk, acoustic rock and guitar-driven pop music. — — — — From the U2-esque opening of ‘Better Left Unsaid’ to the soulful, stripped-down beat of the album’s first single ‘Fallin’ From the Start’ (which goes to AAA radio on May 21st,) to early fan favorite ‘Promise You That’, Rubino’s guitar mastery and cinematic lyrics assert his arrival as an indie artist with fascinating past and a strong future. — — — — Rubino evokes both the smokiness of Amos Lee and the dramatic storytelling of Gavin DeGraw, as he tackles taboo subjects and shapes the album as a cathartic chronicle of his addiction and recovery (against the surreal backdrop of being the former member of a Christian rock band,) the untimely deaths of a former band mate as well as his former manager, and finally, the joy of falling in love with his wife Savannah Zara and experiencing what he describes as his “first ever pure relationship, with complete transparency.” — — (Source: Artist website) — — The Amazon ASIN for the mp3 vversion of this CD is B0081EAU2A — — — Another listing by Zip
