Fender bender (Hound Dog Taylor) (LP 4067)

Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers  Genuine HouseRocking Music (CD, Aligator Records, 1982) *****  

GenreBlues 

Places I remember: Slow Boat Records

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Ain't Got Nobody

Gear costume: Crossroads

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6

Active compensatory factors: Genuine HouseRocking Music is a collection of outtakes from Hound Dog's recording sessions. Sprung from the vault, it's an incendiary blues sound like no other.

The band is Hound Dog Taylor on vocals and unbelievably great slide guitar, Brewer Phillips on guitar and Ted Harvey on drums. The trio make a joyous racket.

Where do they all belong? I should have bought his first two albums while I worked at Marbecks Records. I couldn't buy everything though.
