Tell the Truth is a rock album by Billy Squier that was released in April 1993. It contains the single "Angry", and the ballad "Lovin' You Ain't So Hard".
It was not supported by Capitol Records, causing Billy Squier to walk away from the music industry for five years. In the US, the disc failed to chart and sold less than 100,000 copies, making it the poorest selling album of his decade and a half with the EMI-Capitol organization.
"Tell the Truth" is a song by the Anglo-American band Derek and the Dominos, released in 1970 as the eighth track on their album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. The song was composed primarily by keyboardist Bobby Whitlock, with guitarist Eric Clapton adding the last verse. The band recorded the track at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida in August 1970, with Tom Dowd as their producer.
An earlier version of "Tell the Truth" was recorded in London during the sessions for George Harrison's 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. The session marked the first recordings by Derek and the Dominos. Produced by Phil Spector, this original, faster version of the song featured guitar contributions from Harrison and Dave Mason. It was issued as Derek and the Dominos' debut single, in September 1970, although the band had the release withdrawn.
