MORE INFO ON THE ARTISTS/RELEASE:Theodore Roosevelt "Hound Dog" Taylor (April 12, 1915 – December 17, 1975) was an American Chicago blues guitarist and singer.
Biography[edit]
Taylor was born in Natchez, Mississippi, in 1915, though some sources say 1917. He initially played the piano and began playing the guitar when he was 20. He moved to Chicago in 1942.
He was famous among guitar players for having six fingers on both hands, a condition called polydactyly. As is usual with the condition, the extra digits were rudimentary nubbins and could not be moved. One night, while drunk, he cut off the extra digit on his right hand using a straight razor.
He became a full-time musician around 1957 but remained unknown outside the Chicago area, where he played small clubs in black neighborhoods and at the open-air Maxwell Street Market. He was known for his electrified slide guitar playing (roughly styled after that of Elmore James), his cheap Japanese Teisco guitars, and his raucous boogie beats.
In 1967, Taylor toured Europe with the American Folk Blues Festival, performing with Little Walter and Koko Taylor. After hearing Taylor with his band, the HouseRockers (Brewer Phillips on second guitar and Ted Harvey on drums) in 1970 at Florence's Lounge on Chicago's South Side, Bruce Iglauer (then a shipping clerk for Delmark Records) tried to persuade his employer to sign Taylor to a recording contract.
In 1971, having no success in getting Delmark to sign Taylor, Iglauer used a $2500 inheritance to form Alligator Records, which recorded Taylor's debut album, Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers The album was recorded in just two nights. It was the first release for Alligator, which eventually became a major blues label. Iglauer began managing and booking the band, which toured nationwide and performed with Muddy Waters, Freddie King, and Big Mama Thornton. The band became especially popular in the Boston area, where Taylor inspired the young George Thorogood. The album Live at Joe's Place documents a performance in Boston in 1972.
The second release by Taylor and his band, Natural Boogie, recorded in late 1973, received greater acclaim and led to more touring. In 1975, they toured Australia and New Zealand with Freddie King and the duo of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Taylor's third album for Alligator, Beware of the Dog, was recorded live in 1974 but was not released until after his death. Alligator also released, posthumously, Genuine Houserocking Music and Release the Hound. Some bootleg live recordings were also circulated after Taylor's death.
Taylor died of lung cancer in 1975. He was buried in Restvale Cemetery, in Alsip, Illinois.
CUSTOMER REVIEWS OF THE CD RE-RELEASE
Virtuoso 5.0 out of 5 starsGet this one, and pass on the good wordFebruary 15, 2018
Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase 5 stars. Hound Dog was one of the most under-rated guitarists ever. Once the listener understands that distortion is utilized as a defining feature of the music, one can appreciate the feel. One wag once said that Hound Dog makes more music sitting down then a whole band does standing up. Of the eleven cuts, I rate eight as first-rate and the rest worthy. Remember, Hound Dog's band was essentially a "bar band", and the aim was fun, pure and simple. The boys used second-rate instruments on stage and in the studio, and incorporated them into the sound, unique and not strictly blues-based. Listen up, and pass the word along. Like Magic Sam, Earl Hooker, Freddie King, Son Seals, Lonnie Brooks and others of the ilk, it is criminal that they are not better known and appreciated.Snappy Ferret 5.0 out of 5 starsRousing electric slide guitar
