The sound on Untold Truths is roots-rock with elements of country. 'I grew up with Motown because I was born in Compton California, but every time I do a song it sounds like something in Oklahoma' Costner says.

His style of music has been compared to John Mellencamp, Tom Petty and even Bruce Springsteen, Kevin Costner contributes to the song-writing on five of the tracks on the album.
