Album Review

The first album and the perfect place to start. Wild, raucous, crazy music straight out of the South Side clubs. The incessant drive of Hound Dog's playing is best heard on "Give Me Back My Wig," "55th Street Boogie," and "Taylor's Rock," while the sound of Brewer Phillips' Telecaster on "Phillips' Theme" gives new meaning to the phrase "sheet metal tone." One of the greatest slide guitar albums of all time. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide

For Chicago-style slide-guitar blues on the jagged edge, Hound Dog Taylor is your man... He can whip up some scalding hot slide on one number then tone it down to some smooth, sweet fills on the next or sometimes even in the same song. His partner in steel, Brewer Phillips keeps the rhythm going along with the crash!, boom!, bang! of Ted Harvey's drumset. Ragged & Right & top-shelf entertainment like no other...
