I believe there is a track on the "Chess Blues" 4 disc boxed set that has
Hound Dog playing with a harp player.  The player sounded like Big Walter,
although I can't remember the liner notes at the moment.  Anyone else
familiar with this set?  The track was recorded approx. 1966-68 i think.

Good memory, man! :) Hound Dog indeed recorded 5 tracks in '67 w/ Horton (plus 1 track live in Berlin w/ Little Walter that was issued on Fontana.) And one of the Horton tracks, "Sitting Here Alone" is indeed on the 4CD Chess Blues box.

FWIW, Hound Dog was once quoted in an interview as saying, "When I die, they'll say, 'He couldn't play shit, but he sure made it sound good!'"

cheers & Happy New Year to all,
