Blues tune of the week

One of my old heros here, Hound Dog Tayler, doing Taylor's Rock, in all his six-fingered glory (more is more, as some people claim...). Mr. Taylor was the artist that made Bruce Iglauer start Alligator records, since the boss at the record company he worked on wouldn't record Hound Dog and the House Rockers. Or so the story goes.  Anyway,  Hound Dog Taylor is known for his six fingers, fierce slide playing, a cheap ass japanese guitar with too many switches and knobs and bad jokes.

Enjoy!

And his jokes. You gotta give him that? "I'll gotta see a man 'bout a horse..."
:-D

Nah. I know that Hound Dog Taylor is one of the artist where our musical tastes diverge the most...
