    Comes across like a hi-fi version of Tom Waits at his gnarliest. [Jun 2006, p.92]

    On The True False Identity, Burnett substantiates his role as a composer and performer steeped in traditional American music.

    The time away and working with such diverse influences has enhanced his writing skills, The True False Identity overflowing with dense textures and dexterous social and political commentary that bursts with feverish abandon.

    This is at least a 9, but I'm upping it 'cuz T Bone is just such a great and eclectic writer/artist. It might not be his single greatest album, but it is a singly great album nonetheless !… Expand
