 Rating:  - Slide Blues, Without The Songs...I wouldn't lay claim to knowing a huge amount about blues music, but one thread I've picked up from the blues albums that do make up a good portion of my collection is that sometimes blues is more about 'rhythm' than 'melody'. It's a mood you feel rather than a tune you hum - and I consider that quite true in the case of Hound Dog Taylor. Hound Dog never considered himself a musician of considerable talent, now that's not to do the man a disservice, but he was as honest about his strengths (the vibe and mood he created) as he was his weaknesses. To say this album is sloppy, ramshackle, unfocused, littered with errors, bum notes and wrong turns is to actually pay it a compliment, because it was the style Hound Dog and his band ...

Well, truth be told, Theodore Roosevelt Taylor wasn't the most subtle or technically varied slide guitarist, but he and his Houserockers did indeed make it sound good. The production on this their first record leaves a lot to be desired (the drums are mixed way too far into the background, and there are times when you can barely hear Brewer Phillips' second guitar), but having Hound Dog Taylor's crunchy, fuzzy lead guitar right up front isn't too bad, and he rocks on the funky "It's Alright", the fiery instrumental "Walking The Ceiling", and a raw, sloppy take on Tampa Red's "It Hurts Me Too".

The track "Give me back my wig" is worth the purchase price alone. Crazy lyrics and music that will get you jumping up out of your seat. |
