GA-20 premiere Sitting At Home Alone, the third single from the upcoming release, GA-20 Does Hound Dog Taylor: Try It…You Might Like It!. The album, on Colemine Records in partnership with Alligator Records, will come out on August 20. Try It…You Might Like It! features ten blistering performances of songs written or performed by Chicago blues legends (and Alligator Records’ first artists) Hound Dog Taylor & The HouseRockers.
Of the song, guitarist Matt Stubbs says, “One of the things I’ve always aspired to do is to have a unique voice on my instrument. There are those players who you can always recognize immediately; they have such an individual sound that they are identifiable right away. I think Hound Dog’s slide playing on Sitting At Home Alone is a perfect example. You know within the first three notes that it’s him. But it doesn’t stop there, you can tell it’s the HouseRockers by the way Brewer Phillips is playing the bassline on guitar and Ted Harvey’s bombastic approach. It’s a rare thing, and a hallmark of some of the greats. I don’t hear too many blues musicians these days approaching the song this way. We were really excited to record our version.”
