Cowboy Boyer & Talton

Cowboy Boyer & Talton make a rare appearance @ the Old Feed Store in Cobden Il bringing back the classic songs of the early 70s plus a whole lot of new fresh music as well you wont want to miss this one.
During the early to mid-1970s, The Southern Rock band, Cowboy became one of the genres hidden gems. Formed in Jacksonville, FL in 1969 by songwriters, Tommy Talton and Scott Boyer, they would eventually sign with the legendary Macon, GA based Capricorn Records during the labels first inception and infamous period in Southern Rock history. Along with Cowboy, those to record at Phil Waldens Capricorn were: The Allman Brothers Band, The Marshall Tucker Band, Elvin Bishop, Wet Willie, as well as others.
Music from Cowboy was: Reach For The Sky (1971), 5ll Getcha Ten (1971), Boyer & Talton (1975) and Cowboy (1977). Two compilations were released- Why Quit When Youre Losing (1975) and later 1993s A Different Time: The Best of Cowboy (released on Polydor). The 1976 album Happy to Be Alive by Talton with Bill Stewart and Johnny Sandlin was, in all case and purposes, as much a Cowboy album as could be at the time.

As musicians associated with Capricorn Records, Boyer and Talton would also spend time playing with a whos who of greats including The Allman Brothers, Gregg Allman (whom they backed up on his first solo national tour), Alex Taylor and Bonnie Bramlett. They would remain part of The Capricorn scene until its first demise in 1979.
