HOUND DOG TAYLOR
with BREWER PHILLIPS, guitar and TED HARVEY, drums
Alligator Records, Chicago's leading contemporary blues label, might never have been launched at all
if not for the crashing, slashing slide guitar antics of Hound Dog Taylor. Bruce Iglauer, then an employee
of Delmark Records, couldn't convince his boss, Bob Koester, of Taylor's potential, so Iglauer took matters
into his own hands. In 1971, Alligator was born for the express purpose
of releasing Hound Dog's debut album. We all know what transpired after that.

SLEEVE NEAR MINT but (please, see pictures and read above description)
The first album and the perfect place to start. Wild, raucous, crazy music straight out of the South Side clubs.
The incessant drive of Hound Dog's playing is best heard on "Give Me Back My Wig,"
"55th Street Boogie," and "Taylor's Rock," while the sound of Brewer Phillips' Telecaster
on "Phillips' Theme" gives new meaning to the phrase "sheet metal tone."
One of the greatest slide guitar albums of all time...(AllMusic)
