Nikki Giovanni And The New York Community Choir - Truth Is On Its Way - LP

Format: LP Label: Right-On Records, Right-On Records, Record Plant, N.Y.C., Sonic Recording Products, Inc., Sonic Recording Products, Inc. Catalog number: RR 05001 Country: US Truth Is On Its Way finds Nikki Giovanni collaborating with The New York Community Choir, led by chorus master Benny Diggs, to blend soulful vocals with incisive spoken word across a focused listening experience. Produced by Carl Proctor and engineered by Jack Douglas and Jack Adams, the album interweaves tracks like "Peace Be Still" and "Ego Tripping" with stirring choral arrangements, all framed by thoughtful liner notes from Ellis B. Haizlip. The cover art by Ronald Lucas and contributors George Wilson, Owen Brown, and George Frederick Wilson adds a visual depth that complements the record’s mix of funk and soul with intimate acoustic moments. This 1971 vinyl pressing on Right-On Records offers a genuine snapshot of the era’s crossover between poetry and music. Graded VG+, it presents with the usual light surface marks and paper scuffs typical of everyday use but nothing that should interfere with the listening experience. For those who appreciate records where voice and community chorus meet in earnest dialogue, this LP holds its own—proof that sometimes the truth’s journey is best taken with a choir in tow.
