Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings "Little Boys with Shiny Toys"

It all started with an unplanned trip to Colombia where my uncle Elkin called me and said: "Sobrino" I know you like the music from my days and I have some old vinyl for you to have a look and cherry pick what you like. As you can imagine I was there in a blink of an eye!

To my surprise, my uncle and his father collected vinyl all of their lives and the material was pure gold, the only flip side of this story was that I could not carry enough wax with me back to Australia as it will cost a fortune, so I decided to judge by the cover and carry some back home with me and leave the rest in my parents house in Medellin.

As soon as I landed in Australia I hit my studio and spent a good couple of days listening to the albums. Xavier Cugat was unknown to me (at least the name as I have heard his sound elsewhere) but his unique, progressive and polished sound was awesome. Unfortunately the vinyl was in no good shape to make a decent remix but as we say in Colombia "cuando no hay solomo de todo como" I decided to rip it anyway and give it a crack.

So here it is to the great Xavier Cugat and his Orchestra of course!

Big thanks to the guys behind INI Movement and UMOJA for mastering the track and to Cassette Blog for making this track part of their 4th anniversary compilation. This remix along with many other great tracks can be downloaded for free here:

Hound Dog Taylor was born in Natchez, Mississippi in 1915 (although some sources say 1917). He originally played piano, but began playing guitar when he was 20. He moved to Chicago in 1942.
 
He became a full-time musician around 1957 but remained unknown outside of the Chicago area where he played small clubs in the black neighborhoods and also at the open-air Maxwell Street Market. He was known for his electrified slide guitar playing roughly styled after that of Elmore James, his cheap Japanese Teisco guitars, and his raucous boogie beats. He was also famed among guitar players for having six fingers on his left hand.
 
After hearing Taylor with his band, the HouseRockers (Brewer Phillips on second guitar and Ted Harvey on drums) in 1970 at Florence's Lounge on Chicago's South Side, Bruce Iglauer - at the time a shipping clerk for Delmark Records - tried to get him signed by his employer.Having no success getting Delmark to sign Taylor, Iglauer formed a small record label with a $2500 inheritance and recorded Taylor's debut album, Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers, on his fledgling Alligator Records in 1971. It was the first release on Alligator, now a major blues label. It was recorded in a studio in just two nights. Iglauer began managing and booking the band, which toured nationwide and performed with Muddy Waters and Big Mama Thornton.The band became particularly popular in the Boston area, where Taylor inspired a young protégé named George Thorogood. A live album Live At Joe's Place documented a Boston appearance from 1972.
 
Their second release, Natural Boogie, was recorded in late 1973, and led to greater acclaim and touring. In 1975, Taylor and his band toured Australia and New Zealand with Freddie King and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. His third Alligator album, Beware of the Dog, was recorded live in 1974 but was only released after his death. More posthumous releases occurred as well, including Genuine Houserocking Music and Release the Hound, on the Alligator label as well as some bootleg live recordings.
 
Taylor died of lung cancer in 1975, and was buried in Restvale Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois.
 
Taylor was posthumously inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1984.
