Hound Dog Taylor - Hideaway

[lyndonwbournon]

As you already said in your post, Lollypope!

[lyndonwbournon]

Apparently, Freddie King got the tune for Hideaway from this Hound Dog Taylor tune.

[saabnut98]

[planetscott1]

When all the other brainless idiots in my neighborhood was listening to Kiss, my brothers and I were rocking out to Hound Dog.......

[Glaeken1961]

yep..symphony sid...amen

[tommygreensbluesmach]

oh hound dog taylor this is why i really love you so. For me he is really a pure blues artist who plays more on his feeling than anybody else and it sounds so fucking great. I bet he could play freddy king of the scene with freddy's own song

[rooseveltrockers]

[duncbot]

@pan59023 can you put me in your will please?

[lyndonwbournon]

@pan59023

Phenomenal! How do you come by this gem?

[GUITAR66LJUSNE]

But this is not HIDEAWAY? Hound Dog wrote Hideaway, Freeddie King stole it and said he wrote it, Hound Dog didnt mind.... But this is not Hound Dogs version of Hideaway.

[Cyclist0623]

Any idea when HDT recorded this performance?  Nice to have it!

[blancheblueful]

On Hound Dog's live albums on the Wolf label, the song is titled "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid," by Lester Young, which I believe is correct. The original can be found on Young's sessions with the Aladin label from 1949-1950.

[spukus]

@elmoresblues Yeah, this is Jumpin With Symphony Sid

[100proofboogie]

OOPS To ddog,I meant "fingering patterns". not figuring!

[100proofboogie]

That's 2nd guitarist Brewer Phillips playing the bass lines ,standard Houserocker procedure..(they had no bass player) unless Phillips was playing lead at which time Hound Dog would beat the bass lines out. This tune is "55th Street Boogie" from the 1st Alligator album. Yes, legend has it that Freddie King copped the Hideaway lick while watching Hound Dog during the time Freddie was in Chicago.As for the much missed Hound Dog,(Phillips and Ted too) We LOVED you at Teddy's baby!!!!!!!!!!

[diamondog99]

@100proofboogie do you know Hound Dogs Tuning...?

[100proofboogie]

@diamondog99 As a matter of fact,ddog,Hound Dog held up the band one nite before starting the 2nd set to show a buddy of mine how he tuned(and some figuring patterns as well)Its open E,or as Hound Dog called it"Sevastopol".I read somewhere this is what it was called down in the MS Delta during the music's formative years.It was of interest to me as well even tho Im primarily a harp player, guitar was my 1st instrument. The A & D strings are tuned up 1 step, the G 1/2 step from standard.

[diamondog99]

@100proofboogie thanks for that..ill give it a go...and thanks for that bit of gold info.. im from Adelaide Australia and you probably know this but the houserockers toured Aust. and played here in the mid 70S .there adelaide gig was at the Tivoli hotel ...they recorded and album down here during the tour .. "live at the ABC Radio"...they also played sydney and melbourne ...

[100proofboogie]

@diamondog99 Yes,I did know of the oz tour.Is that ABC Radio rec. available?? Id like to hear it.Besides seeing him several times in my hometown of Milwaukee(90 miles from Chicago), I was also there at his set at Ann Arbor Blues/Jazz fest ,some of which is now up here on YT! I still remember him introing the band and then saying "Everybody knows the Hound! ",seeing it again here after all these years,just amazing. Im now living in Thailand,and may make a Blues Trip" to Aus. next yr.

[Onetinsoldier]

but Hound Dog probably got the melody from Elmore James' I Can't Hold Out

Elmore James only plays it on the lower snares

[Onetinsoldier]

nevermind it's another Elmore James song.

I will search it and come back later

[Malaysiamannen]

i think he is playing base on the guitarr??

[swuzzups]

@Malaysiamannen Yes. Brewer Phillips, the other guitarist, is playing a bass line on his Telecaster.

[swuzzups]

@swuzzups Oh, I just noticed 100proofboogie's more detailed response.

[Bozcat2000]

Super slider who love distortion and a lot of pick-up's ...sometimes 5 or six ...just a super BLUESMAN

[putdownan8dude]
