About the Artist You could say Alligator Records was born in January, 1970, at a little neighborhood bar called Florences Lounge on Chicagos South Side. On a Sunday afternoon, a young blues fan named Bruce Iglauer, newly arrived in the city dropped in to check out a gig by a tall, gangly guitarist that everyone called Dog. When Iglauer stepped into the crowded little club packed with dancing, drinking, laughing patrons, he was overwhelmed by joyful, raw and energized electric boogie blues. Hound Dog Taylor, perched on a folding chair with a steel slide on the fifth of his six fingers, was pouring out piercing, distorted licks and chords on a cheap Japanese guitar and singing in a high, cracking true bluesmans voice. He was accompanied only by a broken-toothed second guitarist named Brewer Phillips, playing bass lines on an old Fender Telecaster, and a gum-chewing drummer named Ted Harvey who propelled every song forward, picking up the tempo on his minimalist kit, and making it impossible to keep from dancing. It was simply the happiest music Iglauer ever heard, and he decided there and then it had to be recorded.Iglauer spent the next year and a half learning everything he could about making and selling records from his boss and mentor, Bob Koester of Delmark Records. Finally, in May of 1971, he was ready to take this amazing little band into the studio. He wanted to capture the spirit of Florences Lounge on tape, for all the world to hear. And fueled by a sufficient amount of Canadian Club and the encouragement of co-producer Wesley Race, Hound Dog Taylor & The HouseRockers delivered just that spirit. They fulfilled Iglauers dream, and started another one--now he wanted to record the other wonderful bands he was hearing every night in the little blues bars on the South and West Sides of Chicago, musicians like Koko Taylor, Fenton Robinson, Carey Bell and Son Seals. And soon, the dream expanded to recording blues musicians from all across the country, legendary artists like Albert Collins and Professor Longhair and Johnny Otis, and talented newcomers like Shemekia Copeland and Corey Harris.When Iglauer created Alligator Records, the first promo piece to promote that very first Hound Dog Taylor album was headed Genuine Houserockin Music. That became Alligators slogan, a slogan the label wears proudly today. Genuine because the music Alligator records is deeply rooted in the blues tradition (even when it pushes the standard definition of blues) and is created by musicians who have honed their songs not on synthesizers in their bedrooms, but in front of real audiences, responding to the emotional needs of their listeners. House instead of theatre or arena or stadium, because Alligators music is ultimately intimate, even when its big and loud. Its not meant to be presented. Its meant to be shared between the musicians and the audience, like everyone at Florences shared the music with Hound Dog Taylor. And Rockin because its designed to move you. Most of Alligators records will move your feet or your body, but the label has tried to make records that will move that other part of you--your soul. Sometimes that can mean music that cleanses your inner pain by pulling it out of you, the hurts so good that is so special to the blues. And sometimes it just means the pure release and fun of musicians pouring their energy into a great groove.Over the forty years, Alligators definition of Genuine Houserockin Music has expanded to include not only pure blues artists, but also musicians & songwriters who have taken the spirit of the blues and created their own sounds and styles, sometimes called roots rock or rockabilly or front porch soul or, in a few cases, gospel, the ultimate soul-rockin music. But Alligators mission has remained the same--to record honest, blues-infused music that moves the feet and soothes the soul, and hopefully makes you feel as good as a Sunday afternoon at Florence
