Hound Dog Taylor & the Houserockers

by Hound Dog Taylor, Hound Dog Taylor & the Houserockers, The Houserockers

Overview

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. ~ Cub Koda
