Out of True is the fourth studio album by British band The Nightingales. Released in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2006, the album is the band's first since 1986's In The Good Old Country Way. The album was recorded in June 2006 in Birmingham.[1] The album contains 3 cover versions, "Let's Think About Living" by Bob Luman, "Good Boy" by Kevin Coyne and "There's A New World Just Opening For Me" by Ray Davies. The song "Good Boy" had previously been covered by frontman, Robert Lloyd, for a John Peel Session in 1990.[2] The rest of the tracks on the album were written by Robert Lloyd with various members of the past and present lineups of The Nightingales.
Richardson, Lamb, and Brackley only appear on certain tracks.
Jennifer Kelly of PopMatters called the album "brash, sardonic, and wonderful".[3]
Ben Thompson of The Daily Telegraph wrote "This is that rarest of achievements: a comeback album that actually adds to analready illustrious reputation. ... Out of True finds theNightingales not merely back to their best, but actually improved."[4]
