| Description | Theodore Hound Dog Taylor was born on April 12, 1917, in Natchez, Mississippi. Taylor developed a raw vocal style and blistering slide guitar technique, using a cheap Teisco Del Rey guitar powered through a Sears Roebuck amplifier. He also had a physical condition called polydactylism, which resulted in an extra finger on each hand. Hound Dog Taylor first recorded in 1960 for Bea and Baby Records, and again in 1962 for the Firma label. The resulting 45s were his only releases during the 60''s and these four tracks are included on this record. As a bonus, we have added two tracks by Mississippi-born, long-time blues veteran Homesick James, who, after recording several 45s in the early 50''s, didn''t get another single released until 1962. Both numbers feature Taylor on guitar. He died in December 1975, after releasing four albums on the Alligator label. Strictly limited edition of 250 copies on 10" Vinyl. |
