In 1971, 23-year-old blues fan Bruce Iglauer spent his meager savings to record and release a record by his favorite Chicago blues band, Hound Dog Taylor & The HouseRockers. The new album needed a record label, so he created Alligator Records to release one LP.
Today, Alligator boasts a catalog of over 350 titles, many of which are renowned, classics of the genre. Career-defining albums from legendary artists like Hound Dog Taylor, Koko Taylor, Son Seals, Albert Collins, Johnny Winter, Professor Longhair, Lonnie Brooks, Luther Allison and Michael “Iron Man” Burks share the catalog with releases from current blues and roots icons Elvin Bishop, Charlie Musselwhite, Guitar Shorty, Billy Boy Arnold and Mavis Staples.
This collection is a festive holiday compilation from some of Alligator's top catalogue artists, such as Lonnie Brooks, Koko Taylor, Charlie Musselwhite, & Elvin Bishop among others!
Heavyweight RED vinyl produced by Alligator Records in 2023.
