Editorial review
Mark Weigle is a cowboy who wears his heartbreak on his sleeve and, like the best country singers, he's masculine and sexy while embracing love, loss, and the lessons he's learned from both. In fact, he's better than many of the highly successful contemporary male country crooners -- the depth and sincerity in his voice lend a tender weariness to his odes to love -- but he sings so openly about his homosexuality that he stands virtually no chance of mainstream C&W success. With his laid-back, confessional style of songwriting, listening to this CD is an intimate experience and, though there are songs of death such as "One Less Dancer" and "If It Wasn't Love" (seemingly about AIDS), his melancholy is so inviting that they aren't as off-putting as they could have been. The entire album seems to have been cathartic, from the AIDS-related cuts to the tracks chronicling the struggles and the self-hate many gay people experience in finding self-acceptance. Not many albums are this personal and this inviting at the same time. Nashville strives to create the feeling of down home, but it doesn't give true artists like Weigle a chance to actually connect with audiences, despite the fact that listeners would eat this up if given the option. Standout cuts are "Take Your Shoulder From the Wheel," which holds the weariness of the range, and "If You Grew Up There," about the call of the land you grew up on. The Truth Is that this is what country music is truly about. A gem. ~ Bryan Buss, All Music Guide

Mark Weigle's debut recording, "The Truth Is" seems destined to be an out gay classic. Though it was released in May of 1998, the CD was voted Outvoice.com's top album of 1999, and made the #4 spot on the year 2000 chart. Along the way it has garnered more votes and spent more weeks at #1 than any other CD in Outvoice history. Weigle was nominated for 2 GLAMAs in 1998, for Out Song of the Year, ("If It Wasn't Love") and Debut Artist. 'The Truth Is' made This Way Out's 'Audiofile' Best of 1999, and the song "Oz" was a GAYBC Top 10 of the Year.
'The Truth Is' fuses country and folk arrangements with passionate out gay lryics. Songs like "The Two Cowboy Waltz", "Struggle of Love" and "No More Nights Alone", (a duet with gay folk legend Blackberri) have become staples of LGBT radio playlists.
