The Original Hound Dog

The Original Hound Dog (1990) more music like this

by Big Mama Thornton

This British import compilation of Peacock sides is a bit more comprehensive than the domestic Hound Dog anthology, including a few more tracks (22 in all, some previously unreleased). The MCA collection, more readily available for most North American consumers, should suffice for most listeners. If you come across this one first, though, it's ...

I'm Gone (1996) more music like this

Hound Dog: The Peacock Recordings

Hound Dog: The Peacock Recordings (1992) more music like this

by Big Mama Thornton

Let's face it, Big Mama Thornton will always be chiefly recalled for her growling 1952 reading of the Jerry Leiber-Mike Stoller classic "Hound Dog." But the other 17 sides on this collection of her 1952-1957 output for Don Robey's Peacock Records aren't exactly makeweight. Thornton's mighty roar was backed by the jumping combos of Johnny Otis and ...

The Leiber & Stoller Story, Vol. 1: Hard Times - The Los Angeles Years 1951-56 (2004) more music like this

by Leiber & Stoller

Although the first installment of this three-volume series covers a lot of ground in the early career of the famed R&B/rock & roll songwriting team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, be aware that it's not exactly a compilation of the best and most familiar interpretations of their compositions. Rather than focus on the most famous Leiber & Stoller ...
