    Though it certainly gets some mileage out of Chris Carrabba's husky yet soulfully supple vocals and wounded-heart coffee house troubadour sensibilities, the ad nauseam repetition of both ultra-generic open chord strumming without much else in the way of sonic variety and lyrics that hammer the same talking points into oblivion on "All the Truth That I Can Tell" quickly lead to tedium andThough it certainly gets some mileage out of Chris Carrabba's husky yet soulfully supple vocals and wounded-heart coffee house troubadour sensibilities, the ad nauseam repetition of both ultra-generic open chord strumming without much else in the way of sonic variety and lyrics that hammer the same talking points into oblivion on "All the Truth That I Can Tell" quickly lead to tedium and an inescapable sense of sameness setting in that sadly undermine the emotionality and intimacy the record clearly yearns for.

    There are no crashing power chords, OTT theatrics or questionable haircuts to worry about on All The Truth That I Can Tell. Just an open-hearted, increasingly middle-aged man, his acoustic guitar, and the same brand of chest-swelling songwriting many of us have known since we were young.
