History
The musical group Truth was formed sometime in late ‘69 in a small city in Iowa by original members Billy Janey, Steve Bock and John Fillingsworth. The band pulled it’s name from the title of a Jeff Beck album and drew inspiration from Beck as well as idols Cream and Hendrix. This lineup, however, would last barely a year until drummer Denis Bunce was brought in the replace Fillingsworth and form what would be the group’s legendary line-up.
By 1972 the group was regularly performing and writing original material. It was in this time that they would release their debut, a 7" 45rpm featuring "Midnight Horseman" and a cover of the Rolling Stones’ "Under my Thumb." Although, Guitarist Billy Janey claims that 1,000 copies of this single were pressed, to a collector nowadays it feels a lot more like 100 copies because it’s extremely hard to turn up.
