Hound Dog Taylor

Here's a photo of the extra pinky on his left hand. Legend has it, he had an extra digit on his right hand as well, but got drunk one night and cut it off with a pocket knife! Check out the size of that thumb!

Damn, there's other people be lovin' Hound Dog Taylor And The HouseRockers. I got turned on to his gritty primitive style just after he died ("Natural Boogie"). Still one of my favorite records. He would go through the pawn shops, find a cheap Japanese guitar and thrash it until it broke. Then repeat. Sho nuff!
