Hound Dog Taylor - Natural Boogie (1973)

Hound Dog Taylor - Natural Boogie (1973)

  Hound Dog (Theodore) Taylor grew up in Mississippi but moved to Chicago where for well over 10 years played his boogie styled slide guitar with mates Brewer Phillips (guitar) and Ted Harvey (drums).    Natural Boogie was his second album and a follow up to his well received debut album that featured "Give Me Back My Wig" which is his best known song.  Phillips plays guitar along side Taylor but does so often more like a bass guitar than a rhythm section.    This is great toe tapping music and if you have never heard Hound Dog Taylor then you are missing out on some great blues slide music !
