SYNOPSIS
Canadian singer-songwriter Craig Ruhnke carved a niche in the late ’70s and early ’80s soft rock and AOR scene with smooth, heartfelt ballads and West Coast–inspired production. True Love, one of his defining albums, captures his signature blend of tender melodies, warm vocals, and polished arrangements. With tracks that balance romantic lyricism and breezy instrumentation, the record reflects the golden-era sound of yacht rock while adding Ruhnke’s own personal charm. Long a cult favorite among collectors, especially in Japan where his music found a devoted audience, True Love stands as a timeless document of mellow sophistication.
