Tribute Mondays: Hound Dog Taylor

Theodore Roosevelt "Hound Dog" Taylor (Apr. 12, 1915 – Dec, 17, 1975)


Chicago Blues Guitarist, Pianist and Singer/Songwriter, Hound Dog Taylor, had six fingers on his left hand; this has not been recorded as having influence on his playing style, though it increased his fame. He remained unknown outside of Chicago, until is national releases before his death during the 1970's. Thanks for your contribution Mr. Taylor, you are appreciated. Please take a listen here and have an exciting Monday: Hound Dog Taylor And The House Rockers (Full Album) and Wild about you baby
