HOUND DOG TAYLOR "Natural Boogie" 1974

Hound Dog Taylor's second album was every bit as wild as the first, bringing with it a fatter sound and a wider range of emotions and music. A recut here of Taylor's first single, "Take Five," totally burns the original while the smoldering intensity of "See Me in the Evening" and "Sadie" take this album to places the first one never reached. (Cub Koda, Allmusic)Put this cd on and imagine it's Saturday night in a small club on the south side of Chicago. It's noisy, crowded and hot, you've got an ice-cold beer in front of you, and there's this 3 piece blues band on stage hammering out some of the best, no-frills blues you've heard. God's own slide-guitarist is leading the group. The other two guys are trying to hang on for dear life (and doing a darn good job of it). You wouldn't want your younger sister listening to these guys play "Roll Your Moneymaker," but someone else's sister, well, that's another story. This is the real deal. (Blues World)

Great album. Many blues players have a style of their own, but this raw (even more than Elmore James) guitar is essential. It was said that he played with cheap japanese guitars but it don't seems to be, judging from the cover.

BONUS 1 OF 3

MUDDY WATERS - I Got My Brand on You: The 1956-1962 Studio Recordings (2013) @ 320

http://www10.zippyshare.com/v/63072906/file.html


Muddy Waters created the template for modern electric blues, and most of rock as well, during his famous association with Chicago's Chess Records in the late '50s and early '60s. This single-disc set collects some of Waters' most essential and signature tracks, many of which were produced by Willie Dixon, whose behind-the-scenes presence at Chess also helped usher in the age of modern blues. The rest is history, as they say. (Allmusic)

This single-disc set collects some of Waters' most essential and signature tracks, many of which were produced by Willie Dixon, whose behind-the-scenes presence at Chess also helped usher in the age of modern blues. The rest is history, as they say. ~ Steve Leggett Muddy Waters transformed the soul of the rural South into the sound of the city, electrifying the blues at a pivotal point in the early post-World War II period. He popularized the Blues band format, which shaped the Chicago Blues sound and laid the cornerstone for Rock & Roll. His recorded legacy is one of the great musical treasures of the 20th Century, which heavily influenced such celebrated artists as The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix, to name a few. This quintessential remastered edition compiles 27 fabulous studio tracks by Waters accompanied by such great musicians as Little Walter, James Cotton, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Rogers, Earl Hooker, Otis Spann, and Willie Smith. Contained here is the cream of the crop from Muddy Water's hitmaking stretch for Chess Records between 1956 and 1962. This material was indispensable in defining the exact nature of the Chicago electric blues style. Recording information: Chicago, IL (12/??/1956-06/27/1962). Personnel: Muddy Waters (vocals, guitar). Liner Note Author: Gary Blailock.

THANKS FOR HOUND DOG TAYLOR!

...what you get is the glorious raw sound of a Chicago blues band tearing into their music, howlin' and growlin' and ripping off one glorious rasping lick after another over a slammed out a back beat that could shake the glass out of your windows! Sheer heaven! -Redlick.com. I can't say it better myself.

Johnny Kinkdom sez: I bought Hound Dog's first album from Bruce Iglauer in the basement space at Ogg Hall, Madison WI while I was a freshman living in the dorm. In between sets, Bruce got Hound Dog to autograph it for me. I have it framed on my wall to this day. A true blues original who's playing touched everyone who ever heard him. Turn It Up and Boogie!

@ Mouldysauerkraut.

Yeah, it's a cheap Jap guitar, a Teisco, I remember seeing plenty around in the 1960s, guys who couldn't afford a Fender or Guild or Ephi' would buy Teiscos. Hound Dog was probably the only man in the world who could make a Teisco sound great :-)

Mouldysauerkraut said...

He surely make this shiny thing sound great, like bo's guitar played like drums and Johnny Guitar Watson one chord solo !
