Truth N' Time is a studio album by the soul singer Al Green, released in 1978.[6][7] It was Green's last album of mainly secular music for several years.[8]

The album peaked at No. 44 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[9]

Production[edit]

Truth N' Time was recorded at Green's American Music studio.[4] Green produced the album.[10]

Critical reception[edit]

The Bay State Banner wrote: "The inclusion of 'To Sir With Love' and 'Say A Little Prayer' can be questioned, but Al stomps and cuts through them just like a thoroughbred racer. Some really tremendous session work also, though minus the quiet excellence of drummer Howard Grimes."[11]

In a 2006 review of a reissue, Rolling Stone stated that Truth n' Time "contains too much filler for an album not even twenty-seven minutes long."[10]
