Taylor may be a self-taught musician with a chip on his shoulder and a taste for cheap beer, but he's also a master craftsman who knows how to wring every last drop of emotion out of his battered old guitar.\n\nIn short, \"Release the Hound\" is a rollicking good time from start to finish and a testament to the enduring power of the blues. So grab a beer, turn up the volume, and let Hound Dog Taylor take you on a wild ride through the heart of American music. You won't regret it.","brand":"Vinyl Castle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50675099468107,"sku":"CD118182","price":11.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/2349\/9083\/files\/0014551489627.jpg?v=1729838494"},{"product_id":"deep-in-the-heart-14551489726","title":"Deep in the Heart","description":"W.C.
