- Hittin’ the Note Magazine, June 2008
Tommy Talton – lead vocals, guitar and slide guitar. Tommy Talton was a founding member of Capricorn Records group Cowboy. While in Macon, GA through most of the 70s, Tommy was a studio musician recording with artists such as Bonnie Bramlett, Martin Mull, Corky Lang (West, Bruce and Lang, Mountain), Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Clarence Carter, country legend Kitty Wells, Alex and Livingston Taylor, Arthur Conley of Sweet Soul Music fame, and more. He toured extensively throughout the U.S. with Cowboy and with the Gregg Allman tour, from Carnegie Hall (as special guests) to Fillmore West in San Francisco and most cities in between. Tommy was also the guitarist on Gregg Allman’s “Laid Back” album. Tommy lived and toured in Europe throughout the 90s and formed a group there, called The Rebelizers, with members of Albert Lee’s band, Hogan’s Heroes. Tommy is now joined by three talented, creative musicians from the southeast (Birmingham and Atlanta). Tommy Talton’s highly anticipated new CD, Tommy Talton in Europe, Someone Else's Shoes, was released on Hittin’ the Note Records on May 12, 2008.

"The work that Talton did in the 1970s with collaborator Scott Boyer and Cowboy, Gregg Allman, Sandlin and Stewart and other artists signed to Capricorn Records, and Talton’s recent work with Capricorn Rhythm Section, are appreciated widely by music aficionados, but the songs Tommy wrote over the last 15 years have gone virtually unheard – until now. Tommy Talton in Europe showcases cherry-picked recordings by the two bands that Talton has led most recently. Throughout 'Tommy Talton in Europe,' Talton delivers a cool, genuine old school aura that is both natural and refreshing. It is nice to hear Tommy’s music once again, for it is like revisiting an old friend. Talton does his own thing in his own way and at his own pace, which has been this old Cowboy’s stock-and-trade all along." - Bill Thames, Hittin' the Note Magazine

BEST RELEASES OF 2008

1. Bonnie Bramlett Beautiful
Produced by none other than the master Johnny Sandlin, this album is the return to glory Bonnie has been working toward for years. It is one of her best releases ever, and the songs are all perfect. The cast of players ain’t too shabby either.
2.Tommy Talton in Europe/Someone Else’s Shoes
Cowboy founding member Tommy Talton is one of the finest writers and musicians working today, and this collection, partly recorded with his European band The Rebelizers and part with his own Tommy Talton Band is a good sampling of what is yet to come. Excellent.
