Hound Dog Taylor and the House Rockers

Contrary to whatever stereotypes have token created to cover the contemporary bluesman, there is a side to the blues that has absolutely nothing to do with whiskey-fed misery, financial hard times or woman troubles. In certain hands the blues can become not an excuse to wallow in misery, but an invitation to escape from it: a rocking, driving celebration designed to exorcise whatever foul spirits are at work.
