Description
Nearly 30 years after his death, quintessential houserocker Hound Dog Taylor remains one of the most beloved figures in blues history. Two of his five Alligator albums were nominated for Grammys and all five continue to be among the label's best sellers.
Release The Hound features previously unissued live and studio recordings and is the first album of all-new Hound Dog Taylor material in 22 years. In that time, the 'ragged, but right' philosophy that Hound Dog and his Houserockers played by has lived on in the work of artists like George Thorogood, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Gov't Mule and the Black Keys.
Release The Hound is Hound Dog Taylor and the Houserockers in all their slaphappy, gutbucket glory. All the slashing guitar work, gutwrenching vocals and raucous, boogie rhythms that Hound Dog's legion of followers has come to know and love are here in live and studio settings.
The recordings range from pristine studio tracks to raw live board tapes and include houserockin' versions of Ray Charles' "What'd I Say?" and Freddie King's "Sen-Sa-Shun" plus new live versions of Hound Dog classics like "She's Gone" and "Gonna Send You Back To Georgia".
