This months Aural Robert back page article is a interview with Alligator Records owner Bruce Iglauer. Good read and it brought back many great memories. My main musical home of FitzGeralds on Chicago's west side featured so many of the labels artists live over the years I feel blessed to have enjoyed so many shows. My musical library is stuffed with Bruce's Alligator albums that I bought off the stage at those shows and by other means over the years. Be sure to check out some of their releases with a variety the great Chicago blues artists, so many who have sadly passed on now.
If you don't own anything else they have a new 45th Anniversary album out the might be the one to dip your beak in. Also if you do a Alligator search on Spotify they have a ton of the labels music available.

Good choice! If one wants an absolutely pristine set of Hound Dog Taylor covers, this just might serve the bill - probably invented the term PRaT to describe the groove on this album ... ;)
