Beware of the Dog
was
Hound Dog Taylor
's posthumous live album containing performances that are even steamier than his first two studio albums, if such a notion is possible. For lowdown slow
blues
, it's hard to beat the heartfelt closer
"Freddie's Blues,"
and for surreal moments on wax, it's equally hard to beat the funkhouse-turned-loony bin dementia of
"Let's Get Funky"
or the hopped up hillbilly fever rendition of
"Comin' Around the Mountain."
