Hound Dog Taylor - Dust My Broom (1974)

Hound Dog Taylor & The Housrockers: Hound Dog Taylor (guitar, vocals), Brewer Phillips (guitar), Ted Harvey (drums).

Recorded live at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois on January 18, 1974 and at the Smiling Dog Saloon, Cleveland, Ohio on November 22-24, 1974. Includes liner notes by Bruce Iglauer.

Beware of the Dog was Hound Dog Taylor's posthumous live album containing performances that are even steamier than his first two studio albums, if such a notion is possible. For lowdown slow blues, it's hard to beat the heartfelt closer "Freddie's Blues," and for surreal moments on wax, it's equally hard to beat the funkhouse-turned-loony bin dementia of "Let's Get Funky" or the hopped up hillbilly fever rendition of "Comin' Around the Mountain."
