GA-20 Does Hound Dog Taylor - Try It...You Might Like It (LP)

(Karma Chief) 10 tracks

Blues music is revered for its timelessness. The best blues - no matter how old - sounds as fresh and vibrant today as when it was first recorded. The energetic electric blues trio GA-20 - guitarist Matt Stubbs, guitarist/vocalist Pat Faherty and drummer Tim Carman - knows this for a fact. The band's dynamic, self-penned songs sound and feel as fresh and real as the old blues they love and play, including songs by Otis Rush, J.B. Lenoir, Howlin' Wolf, Junior Wells and especially their favorite, Hound Dog Taylor.

Legendary Chicago six-finger bluesman Theodore Roosevelt "Hound Dog" Taylor always knew how he wanted to be remembered: "When I die, they'll say, 'He couldn't play nothing, but he made it sound good!'" His first full-length recording in 1971 was also the first album on the now world-famous Alligator Records label, Hound Dog Taylor & The HouseRockers. In fact, the label's president, Bruce Iglauer, founded Alligator for the sole purpose of recording and releasing this album.

Now Colemine Records - in partnership with Alligator Records - will release GA-20's new full-length album, Try It...You Might Like It! GA-20 Does Hound Dog Taylor, which features 10 songs written or sung by the Chicago blues legend. From the fiery first single and album opener "She's Gone" to the fast-paced "Sadie" to the Hound Dog classic "Give Me Back My Wig," GA-20 delivers one electrifying track after another.
