Theodore Roosevelt “Hound Dog” Taylor (April 12, 1915 - December 17, 1975) was an American blues guitarist and singer.
He was born in Natchez, Mississippi in 1915 (some sources say 1917). He began playing guitar when he was 20 and moved to Chicago in 1942.
He became a full-time musician around 1957 but wasn’t well known outside of the Chicago area until his debut album, Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers, with Alligator Records in 1971. He died of cancer in 1975. His fourth Alligator album, Beware of the Dog, was recorded live in 1974 but only released after his death. Hound Dog Taylor was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1984.
Hound Dog Tayor was best known for his raw vocal style and searing slide guitar, using a cheap Teisco guitar to great advantage. Some sources say that the Freddie King classic, Hideaway, later covered by Eric Clapton, was inspired by a Hound Dog Taylor instrumental.
Hound Dog Taylor died in 1975 and was buried in the Restvale Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois.
