You can catch Hound Dog Taylor and the House
Rockers almost any night of the week in one of the shadowy
little blues clubs on the south side
Chicago. In the city that's produced more great blues artists than any other, Hound Dog plays more often, and for more people, than any of the well-known bluesmen. His sidemen change now and then,
but
usually you'll find Ted Harvey perched bohind his drums,
chewing on a wad of gum and calling for
somcone to get him a drink, while the second guitar-Brewer Phillips wanders out into the audience, talking and dancing while he plays his battered Telc-caster.
Hound Dog sits back in the corner on a folding chair, laughing and singing and stamping his fect and pushing out two or three hours of straight, non-stop boogie and blues.
Hound Dog draws all sorts of people-the older
Mississippi-born
working
couples,
Chicago-bom street sociely in their new clothes und Afros, and a smattering of dedicated white blues fans.
And, although his name is virtually unknown outside the city (he's had only two 45s released before this album), Hound Dog attracts other musicians everywhere he plays. Such blues greats as Jimmy Recd, Big Walter Horton, Carey Bell, Honeyboy Edwards and Lee Jackson, as well as the lesser-known but gagic Sile and Johe Arthur, Lefty Diz, Son Seals, Slim and Johnny Embry sit in often. When Hound Dog plays, there's rarely a break in the music; when one musician gets tired, another steps in to take his place,
Theodore Roosevelt Taylor was born in Natchez, Mississippi in 1915 and grew up around Tchule and Greenwood in the Delta. He first took up guitar when he was twenty, and played in both standard and
open E tunings,
but now
His ties, but ns plays triedship wick
carly friendship
more James and the other men who first electrified
slide guitar-he plays hard and loud, Taylor gigged all over the Delta, and worked on the legendary King Biscuit Flour program of KFFA in West Helena, Arkansas, with Robert Jr. Lockwood and Sonny Boy Williamson. After coming to Chicago in 1942, Hound Dog worked at various day jobs, but he's been a full-timo bluesman since 1957. He's played in virtually every blues club in Chicago, and broadcasted for two years on Big Bill Hill's blues show on WOPA.
His
tunes have been borrowed by many other
blues
artists, and a version of one of his instrumentals was cut by Freddy King.
The tune,
"Hidcaway,"
made
Freddy a star, but Hound Dog never reccived composer's credit.
Second guitarist Brewer Phillips was born in Coila, Mississippi in 1925 and grew up on a small farm. He started playing blues as a boy, and gigged around
West Mumphis
in the late
40s,
Roosevelt Sykes, Joc Hill Louis, Memphis Slim and Bobby
Hines,
Brewer found work as a carpentor
when he came to Chicago, and thinks of his musio mostly as a hobby. He still plays in the raw, distorted style of West Memphis, but considers Jimmy Recd and Hound Dog as the main influences on his music.
