Tell It Like It Is is the seventh album by American guitarist George Benson featuring performances recorded in 1969 and released on the A&M label.[2]

Reception[edit]

The Allmusic review states "Benson manages to transcend the blasting Latin-percussion-spiced production, the tight time limits, and all with often brilliantly tasty guitar fills and brief solos in many styles and three reverb-heavy vocals".[3]
