- Hound Dog Taylor & the Houserockers featuring Little Walter on harmonica. This was back in 1967.
My account was deleted a while ago so I re-uploaded this one again. I thought it was kind a shame this one was deleted of youtube because we had some very nice discussions going, with even people like Billy Branch commenting!
Hound Dog, one of the most underrated musicians of his time.
He should have had more fame than he received.
That's My Daddy Dillard Crume 2 the far right playing the bass, beside little Walter
Thank you!
I was wondering who that was because he sounds FANTASTIC!
Both he and Mr. Taylor are playing cheap Japanese made instruments, as many Blues musicians of that era did. They sound great, and you sure can't buy them very cheaply anymore! I can hear Mr. Crume using flatwound strings. It's a great sound, and his playing is so fluid and lyrical. I too use old Japanese basses with flatwound strings to this day.
I agree about Mr. Crume's playing. Right in the pocket and sounding great!
My first electric bass was one just like his. My parents rented it from a local music store where I took lessons in '72. I stuck with the bass but not the lessons, so they bought the instrument for me. I traded it away long ago. Recently found one like it on ebay and bought it for old times' sake. Sounds good to my ears -- strung with flats, of course!
The black/white doesn't show it but those basses had a distinctive look with a tobaccoburst finish and a mirrored pickguard -- a real slice of the '60's.
Thank you Melanie. I wondered who the bass player was. I confess, that I never heard of your father. Who else did he play with?
Smooth and groovy!
What stories did he tell you about those times?
hound dog's voice is incredible omgg
I could watch Little Walter play all day. I wish there were more video footage of him playing the harp. Greatness personified!
My babe from lil walter one of my favorite harmonica songs
The first time I saw him play was on Maxwell St. 65/66? The rawest blues I ever heard. Followed him all over Chicago.
I'm an old bluesman and the harp has always been my thing. I still get high just playing it, and I often accompany these blues vids, and especially Muddy Waters songs. It sounds like you have discovered the soothing powers. Keep it goin.
A rare combination of the Hound Dog and Little Walter. What a treat. I dig that harmonica ... also love how the Elmore James sounds is "borrowed from him and played here."
Even though for Little Walter, this is a far from ideal musical setting. It is still a priceless rare piece of live footage of arguably the most influential harmonica player that ever lived.
.
Quite the complement coming from Billy Branch himself, a Sons Of Blues legend himself, I had the pleasure of seeing live a few times in the Chicago are blues bars and festivals.
as long as he got paid... who cares? it sounds great.
AMEN Brother!
This was laid back for ole Hound Dog.
I love Hound Dog Taylor. He reminds me of my grandfather. I also love to say "Hound Dog Taylor"
My babe from lil walter...one of my favorite harmonica songs. This is a great song as well
One of the times I saw I saw Hound Dog Taylor and the Houserockers at Joe's Place in Cambridge, Mass his first set was probably the most powerful blues set I have ever seen. The second set was close. Unfortunately, by the third set the band was so drunk and stoned they had trouble tuning. I left. But Hound Dog was a very kindly man. I gave him a glass slide I made and he told me he did use it at home.
He died too soon. I blame our inaccessible health care system.
RIP Little Walter, all these years later, you still give us goose bumps when we hear that harp
best harmonica player ever little walter
And what about Sonny Boy Williamson my Friend ? 😊
Somebody said about this: "If you're going to play all over somebody like that, your name better be Little Walter." Funny as hell. Hard to believe Walter did this, makes me feel a little better about my early playing days.
I think Little Walter was truly an incredible musician. Somehow, every single time I listen to him play.... I can't help but feel him. It's like he's standing in the room. My friend wrote an amazing script about Little Walter which I read... what a life... I think they might make it his movie this year. Last I heard they were sending it over to Will Smith and Ludacris!!!!! Yeah! His story NEEDS to be told!
For me, this is like having a video of Zeus or Odin. These were gods of the blues. No one was more down home than Hound Dog Taylor. Little Walter does a great job of backing him here. This is absolutely the real thing.
This is one of my favorite electric blues recordings.
Little Walter and sonny boy Williamson 2 great harmonica masters.
Check out Charles Musselwhite
Played w Paul Butterfield & Mike Bloomfield
ahhh wow, if this isn't just the coolest little piece of laid back work the Dog ever did. I just keep watching it over and over.
Nice up man. That's some smoldering down home blues power ya all.
Awesome- the greatest blues harp man with the 'Dog.
This is wonderful! Love this style 🎼🎸🎶👍
What a cool song with cool performers. It something real about the content. Can't help but play this over and over again. Great stuff!!!!!
These are some bad men. They had no idea of what big legends they would become.
I was obsessed with the harmonica when I was a little kid (don't know why), and the movie just sparked it up for me. And Columbus Short killed it as Little Walter, such a tragic troubled man. A very sad story that should be explored more.
Oh Man how cool is this, Loved Hound Dog since I was young, 50 years on I love his music even more, him, little walter, Chuck Berry, Stones, SO MANY cool bluesmen out there, they might've moved on, but their music is cool for ever.
i never get sick of this awsome clip! i watch it almost every day , damn the good time's are gone =/
Little Walter wasn't just a musician, He was a real GANGSTER.
Oh! Man! This is great and sounds great too. These Cats are Rockin.. I have been a fan of Little Walter and Hound Dog since I was about 5 yrs old. Like they say "You're never too old to Rock N Roll" . Thanks for uploading this again......
Whoa, is this nice. Look how utterly spare the stage is. Equipment could hardly be more basic. And what they manage to create this way - fantastic. The real stuff.
It doesn't get much better than this makes life worth living.
In my early teens while learning to play the blues; Hounddog Taylor, Little Walter, Elmore James and Muddy Waters were my biggest influences but The DOG started the big blues ball rolling.
One of my friends said,
"Hey I heard about this new label called Alligator and you've GOTTA HEAR this record I bought." The rest is history.
God rest you Mr. Taylor, I'm sorry I never got to thank you.
Thanks for posting this man!!!!! Shows how powerful a harp and guitar is !!!!!!!!!
WOW!!!! a recorded video of Little Walter that's rare NICE VIDEO
The great master. Little Walter is the one who really taught us all how to play licks and how to feel the beauty in pain...
Love this!! First time I actually got to see Little Walter on harmonica with the other blues great late Hounddog Taylor!! Thanks for this rare video!!❤️😮😃
This is fantastic blues wauw real legend what a sound.Thank you so much .
This is a very historic clip, as it shows Hound Dog rather early in his career, and Little Walter rather late in his. Later, Hound Dog Taylor claimed on his liner notes not to have used a bass player, but there was always a bass line there, I never understood that. Thanks for posting this.
He had a 2nd guitarist playing the basslines.
That's right. The 2nd guitar player used an early 50s tele which had 3 sounds -1) bridge pu, 2) neck pu and 3) neck pu with the treble rolled-off completely. The "bass" that you're hearing on those records is position 3)
he had been playing 10 years as a full time musician by '67
blues is the soul..the blue artists created everything we know as popular music nowadays.
in this video. the performance of little walter is great. He is the best!
Two of the greatest bluzmen!
I love the blues thanks for sharing 👍
From what I understand Little Walter's Last gig was one with Hound Dog Taylor a night or two before Little Walter Passed on. How Poetic. God Bless Both of'em.
A genius, died too soon, and badly. I was in a band and we tried his songs, and darn they were hard to play! This is a great clip. Thanks for posting.
Thanks because this is rare to see... and it's great.
Walter sounds great here, and to see him live is sweet!
Two and a half minutes and out! Just what Rock 'N Roll used to be.
Hound dog Taylor is great he really rocks the house and little walter what can I say he's a legend
Little walter is my hero!
I can feel this music in my soul!
Really a classic video, what great sound! FANTASTIC! thanks!
Man, thank you for this.
This is great, very refinded and polished for Hound Dog Taylor. Years after this was filmed he adopted a looser more agressive style which I really like. This early stuff is also very cool. Thank you for the post.
the talent beyond the talent.. sweet accoustic. slide.. lil Walter..his harp.. all parrt of fine sweet blues...
Can it get any better? What an amazing clip, and the sound is perfect!
A rare beauty
This is awesome! :D
Every young electric blues band should be required to watch this regularly.
GREAT VIDEO, LEGEND!!!!!
Is that Ted Harvey and Brewer Phillips? Brewers solo album at 75 was a masterpiece! Get it if you can!
Love these artists!!! Blues with a feeling!!!
thats what makes utube great
Should have said- "Everybody know 'bout the Hound". God bless.

thanks for posting this! hound dog was boss! and with little walter yet! premium-size nifty and just plain super-ass cool!
Thanks for posting this
Man, Theres's nothin' like the Blues!
I don't want or care if you like our music , you're free to believe whatever you want , however , don't ever question "my own voice" , this music saved my life from extremely dangerous lifestyle , and I owe it everything I have now ... If you believe that only black people with no teeth can play this music , I can't help you ... otherwise , you need to look deeper inside yourself and find inspiration for yourself ...
Love the Hound Dog.
I can tell you when and where exactly: Wednesday, October 11, 1967, in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Such a shame, and almost unbelievable, that there's no footage of Walter playing amplified harp and singing!
Awesome! Fxxkin' Great!!
Lots of sidemen gigged with whoever was on the bill that night; this tour put such legends together, whether or not they were a working band. The sound engineers on these Euro tours were way better than what most of these bluesmen got on their own records, Walter sounding clearly like his early influence, Sonnyboy II, and even a bit of Wolf stylings as well; he seems to have avoided the famous reverb-amped harp during live shows, like this, and it may have boiled down to technical limitations of the day. Still, he is the clear accompanist here, not the frontman, and he does his job pretty well. Modern blues players all seem desperate to be the guitar/harp hero, but short on feeling and putting the songs first.
great video long live the blues.
THANK YOU!!!!!!
this is just so dam fine..... i cant get enough of it.... SWEET AS...
thanks for the upload, cheers mate!!!
just great I didnt know the two ever played together let alone this film!!!!
HDT and Little Walter should of got together more often. They were even thinking of having Little Walter join HDT and the House Rockers but LW died right after a gig in Germany. LW tried to break up a fight that broke out in his audience. After returning to US LW collapsed from internal bleeding. and died. LW was a scrapper. Him and HDT made the Blues sound unreal. Too bad he died so young and before HDT and him could make some more of this incredible sounds together. One of my favorite music videos!! Awesome music these two produced!!
Los angeles welcome to the blue. we need all the interest we can get. LW is pretty bad ass!
that muddy waters over their playing the guitar next to little walter

luv the hound dog.
Best dressed bluesman, kids these days won't understand.
+Jacob Tarring Kids these days don't intend to understand. What was hip then is lame now.
hwgray bs
Jacob Tarring You said a mouthful
I liked hound dog in jeans and a t shirt more
These days, too many musicians look like they came to mow the lawn.
My Favorite Hound Dog song, great vid and yes, a sharp looking man this one lol.
it's a shame that there aren't many walter vids to watch...
Or sixty in my case.Otherwise the future is bleak for me.Jim.Liverpool.
Hound is lookin' sharp in this video
the mileage that can be had out of the dust my broom riff is endless
Ooooh! Broad shoulders and a little peanut head!
Thanks Bluesboy,this is just so fine!
Thanks for upload, I enjoyed this very much
I don't think it woiks. Walter is walking all over Hound Dog and its not hard to see why this wasn't a permanent gig. I never would have thought. I think Walters sound is a little more "uptown", smooth and put together while Hound Dog is more of a raw, southern type FURIOUS sound, more chaotic. It's really cool seeing these guys on the stage together though. Great video. If you look really hard, for a split second you can see Hound Dog Taylors 6th finger on his left/fret hand. Kooky!
I imagine you know about Little Walter... so, I'm prolly telling something you already know.
Little Walter was pre imminent harp player back in the day, a place in history he still affectionately holds to this day, with all due respect to great harp players who followed his path.
Little Walter played for Muddy Waters, he was up front and loud. Muddy encouraged this new up-front harmonica sound, and Muddy required it from LW. The first time a harp player was not a background sound. So... this was the sound for that era. Like it, or not... it was that way because Muddy said so.
Little Walter was a drinker, never backed down from a barroom fight, man'a fights in back bar alleys. And so, like HDT's 6'th finger, if you look close you see scars around his eye and forehead - from fights...!
Well, I can go on all day... this is a GREAT piece, and GREAT historical musicians.
As a harp player I would have to agree with you , He is walkin all over him.( P.S. I luv Little Walter )
I agree with you, John. But Little Walter was already a star in his own right when he joined Muddy Waters' band.
TheGreatToucan I don't think that's accurate. He got recognition once he joined muddy. In fact the story goes that he was offered a nickel or a dime to play juke and decided why should he play for a band when he could make more solo ? At least that's what I remember. Not looking for a RUclips argument.
Ultra cool!!
Wow! This is great, thanks for sharing it.
Woaaaaaah! your right.
Fantastic. The 'real deal'.
