"Mike Bloomfield was a stunningly brilliant and monumentally influential guitarist who pioneered blues rock ... During the 1970s, Bloomfield relinquished the rock guitar hero role, tried to recapture that local scene vibe of his Chicago appreticeship, and focused on playing blues and other roots music with a coterie of friends in clubs and small theaters mostly around the Bay Area. The two discs that make up The Gospel Truth cronicle his incredibly versatile guitar mastery during those years. It's a perfect complement to the 2014 three-CD/one-DVD box set From His Head to His Heart to His Hands that cronicles his years in the guitar hero spotlight".
