When the Slaughter House Burned Down / The Things That I Used To Do - Johnny Talbot

Johnny Talbot was born in Texas and raised in the Bay area of California, to be more specifically, Oakland. He played guitar, and the bands he played in hit up the West Coast club and Bay area bar circuit. Eventually, Talbot went on to become the front man for De-Thangs. His turbo fueled mix of funky Texas style guitar and Rhythm Blues has inspired many Bay area artists including Tower of Power, and his bands backed up greats like Etta James and Marvin Gaye, plus other touring bands that came through town. This track was the first record put out on James Moore’s Jasman label, an Oakland based label that would go on to put out sides by Talbot and Sugar Pie DeSanto among others. He has gotten a bit of a resurgence in popularity since the 90′s, this time with a much younger crowd, from reissues by Ubiquity Records, courtesy of their Bay Area Funk compilations.
