Back in 1971, 23-year-old blues fanatic Bruce Iglauer was frustrated and motivated. As
a shipping clerk for Bob Koester's Chicago-based Delmark Records, Iglauer wanted the
label to release an album by his favorite band, Hound Dog Taylor & The HouseRockers.
Koester just wasn't interested, so Iglauer gathered up what little money he had and
decided to do it himself. Recorded live in the studio in just two nights during the
spring of 1971, the recordings captured the band at the height of its powers. Hound Dog
and his HouseRockers simply plugged in and played the same beat-up guitars through the
same raggedy amps they used when they played at blue-collar blues clubs like Florence's
Lounge on the South Side. At a cost of $900, Iglauer produced a direct-to-two-track
master tape?no overdubs?which he mixed as they went along. With the remainder of his
money, he pressed 1000 copies of Hound Dog Taylor & The HouseRockers. And with that,
Alligator Records (named after the way Iglauer clicks out rhythm patterns with his
teeth when he likes a song) was born.
Today, proudly independent Alligator Records is home to some of the world's foremost
blues and roots rock talent and is regarded by fans and the media alike as the top
contemporary blues record label in the world. The Washington Post said, "Alligator is
the premiere blues label." The Chicago Sun-Times stated, "Alligator is numero uno among
indie blues labels, with artists representing the best in contemporary blues."
Alligator Records celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2011 with the release of The
Alligator Records 40th Anniversary Collection. The two-CD set clearly lays out Iglauers
wide-ranging vision. Blues of all flavors abound, including the ragged slide guitar
glory of Hound Dog Taylor and the raw Chicago blues of Koko Taylor, Son Seals, Lil' Ed
& The Blues Imperials, Lonnie Brooks and Eddy Clearwater. From the harmonica workouts
of Charlie Musselwhite, William Clarke, James Cotton and Rick Estrin to the guitar
pyrotechnics of Guitar Shorty, Albert Collins, Johnny Winter, Tinsley Ellis and Michael
"Iron Man" Burks to the front porch roots-rock of JJ Grey & Mofro to the blistering
rock and tender soul of Anders Osborne, the one constant is Alligator's dedication to
releasing what the label proudly calls "Genuine Houserockin' Music."
That dedication continues into Alligator's fifth decade, with label debuts by master
bluesman Joe Louis Walker, soul/blues singer and harmonicist Curtis Salgado and R&B
singer/songwriter and guitarist Jesse Dee. New albums from JJ Grey & Mofro, Janiva
Magness, Anders Osborne, Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials, Rick Estrin & The Nightcats and
Michael "Iron Man" Burks have soared up the blues music charts and beyond, continuing
to expand the definition of the label's sound and vision.
Everything except for the actual recording happens at Alligator's international world
headquarters, located in an old three-flat on Chicago's North Side. Staffers?operating
with a grass-roots, do-it-yourself ethos that would make any indie rock label proud?
reach out across the globe from offices that used to be bedrooms, kitchens and living
rooms. Through their tireless work, the 15 dedicated employees (many of whom have been
on board over 20 years) carry out major label-level promotional and publicity campaigns
on a fraction of major-label budgets, achieving results that rival any deep-pocketed
corporate record company. Against all odds, and using more effort than money, Alligator
publicists and radio promoters are constantly working the phones and the internet
placing feature stories, television appearances, generating airplay and scheduling as
many artist interviews as possible. Advertising, international sales, social media,
licensing, publishing, film and television placements and design are all done in-house
as well. In addition, Alligator's full service mail order company is housed in an old,
converted furniture store just down the block from the main building.
Alligator is not only a business; it's also a tight-knit family. Relationships between
the staff and the artists are personal and run deep. It's not at all uncommon for an
artist performing a Chicago show to drop by the office for an unannounced visit.
Musicians regularly call Iglauer at any hour, needing help with a non-paying club
owner, or looking to have CDs shipped out at the last minute, or to discuss their
upcoming recording sessions or sing new tunes over the phone. Iglauer has opened his
house to musicians needing a place to live during times of personal trouble and makes
himself available to his artists day or night.
With a catalog of almost 300 titles, Alligator Records is the largest independent blues
label in the world,and has been repeatedly honored for its achievements.Three Alligator
recordings have won Grammy Awards, and 40 titles have been nominated. The label and its
artists have received over 100 Blues Music Awards and more than 70 Living Blues Awards.
But even with all of the accolades, Alligator Records never rests on its laurels.
According to Iglauer,"Alligator should be the label that's exposing the next generation
of blues artists and bringing their music to the next generation of blues fans. I want
the future of the blues and the future of Alligator Records to be one and the same."
The history of Alligator reads very much like a history of contemporary blues and roots
music,and a little bit like a Horatio Alger story. Bruce Iglauer,a native of Cincinnati
first fell in love with the blues in 1966. A live performance by the great Mississippi
Fred McDowell struck him deep inside. "It was as if he reached out and grabbed me by
the collar, shook me and spoke directly to me," he recalls. After that show, Iglauer,
a student at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin, immersed himself in the blues.
He began making regular pilgrimages to Chicago to see Muddy Waters, Magic Sam, Junior
Wells, Otis Rush, Carey Bell and many other stars in the ghetto blues clubs, eventually
meeting Bob Koester, owner of the prestigious blues and jazz label Delmark Records and
The Jazz Record Mart.
Koester was impressed with Iglauer's passion for the music and his promotion of two
sold-out Luther Allison performances at Lawrence. When Iglauer moved to Chicago for
good at the beginning of 1970, Koester hired him as a $30-per-week shipping clerk.
Almost every night, Iglauer hung out in the funky South and West Side bars, spellbound
by the blues men and women performing on their home turf. He accompanied Koester to the
studio for every Delmark session, where he watched blues greats such as Junior Wells,
Roosevelt Sykes and Robert Lockwood, Jr. create classic blues albums. Iglauer soaked up
everything he could about record production before heading into the studio with Hound
Dog in 1971.
With his newly pressed Hound Dog Taylor LPs loaded into the trunk of his Chevy, Iglauer
hit the road, visiting prog. rock and college radio stations and record distributors
between Chicago and New York. "FM rock radio was pretty loose back then," says Iglauer.
"DJs were programming their own shows. As each DJ went on his or her shift, I would
hand them a copy of the album and say something like, 'This is a record I produced by
my favorite band. Would you play it?' And instead of having to get the word from the
music director or wait for national chart positions, the DJ usually said, 'Far out.
Wow. Sure, man.' Then I'd go to a distributor and say, 'I've got two or three radio
stations in your area playing this album. Want to sell it to the stores for me?' Which,
of course, they did."
Iglauer became booking agent, business manager, roadie, promotion man, and publicist
for Hound Dog. Alligator Records was a one-man operation run out of his tiny apartment,
filled with stacks of record cartons and a shipping table next to the bed. For years,
each record had to finance the next one, which meant Alligator released about one
record a year. Luckily, those records continued to impress fans and critics and sell
enough to keep the label going. Albums by Big Walter Horton, Son Seals and Fenton
Robinson all contributed to getting the fledgling company off the ground. Eventually,
he moved himself and the company to a small house in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood
(where he still lives) with a photocopier in the dining room, his office in his
bedroom, the warehouse in the basement and 7000 cassettes stacked in the kitchen.
When Koko Taylor came to Alligator in 1975, it was a risky move for the label. Koko had
recorded blues hits in the 1960s, but had been out of the limelight for years. Iglauer
knew how to record guitarists, but wasn't sure about working with a vocalist.
Fortunately Alligator, now with a staff of two, turned out to be a perfect fit for
Taylor's giant voice and charisma. The label's efforts and perseverance, combined with
Taylor's force-of-nature talent, focus and drive, turned Taylor into a bona fide star?
and in turn gave Alligator a newfound prestige?with fans ultimately crowning her The
Queen Of The Blues.
Other artists took notice of what Alligator was accomplishing. In 1978, blues legend
Albert Collins signed as Alligator's first non-Chicago artist, and before long he
catapulted to the top of the blues world. Feature stories and radio airplay?fueled by
Alligator's promotional know-how?helped Collins become one of the most recognized names
in the blues. He grew from playing small clubs to performing in concert halls and at
major festivals around the country and overseas.
As Alligator made its way into the 1980s, the label continued to release groundbreaking
albums. Releases from New Orleans legend Professor Longhair, emerging blues star Lonnie
Brooks and the reissue of a European recording from Buddy Guy all added to Alligator's
growing and glowing reputation. In 1982, the label won its first Grammy Award with
zydeco pioneer Clifton Chenier's release I'm Here!. Two years later, Alligator signed
legendary guitarist Johnny Winter. Winter was better known as a rock star, but came to
Alligator to get back to his blues roots. While Koko Taylor and Albert Collins were
famous among blues fans, Winter had been a top arena draw, and was the first Alligator
artist to come to the label having sold millions of records. His label debut, Guitar
Slinger, which won the label its 14th Grammy nomination, became the first Alligator
album to break into Billboard's "Top 200" chart.
By 1985, Alligator (which had been operating out of Iglauer's house for the last 10
years) had seven full-time employees, and the company moved into the three-flat that it
still calls home today. New international distribution deals brought Alligator's
releases to dozens of countries around the world, allowing artists to organize major
tours of Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia and South America. By now Alligator was
releasing about 10 albums a year, up from one or two just a few years earlier. The
labor of love was now a full-fledged business.
That same year, an idea to team up Albert Collins with two of his prot?g?s?Johnny Clyde
Copeland and Robert Cray?became the Grammy-winning Showdown!. In the studio the
fireworks flew, with each artist reaching new heights in a fierce but friendly game of
guitar one-upsmanship. To this day, Showdown! is among Alligator's best-selling and
most celebrated releases. A special reissue of the album (remastered by Iglauer,
available on CD and LP and including a bonus track) was released in 2011, helping to
commemorate the label's anniversary.
The late 1980s and the early 1990s marked a period of enormous growth for Alligator.
Iglauer's ear for new talent brought the next generation of blues stars to the
forefront, including Kenny Neal, Tinsley Ellis, Saffire?The Uppity Blues Women, Little
Charlie & The Nightcats, Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials, Lucky Peterson, Michael Hill's
Blues Mob and The Kinsey Report. Signings of established blues stars like Katie
Webster, Charlie Musselwhite, Elvin Bishop, and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown rounded out
the roster. And when opportunity arose, Alligator licensed and released finished master
recordings by Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, Delbert McClinton, Otis Rush and others.
Newspaper features and radio play followed Alligator artists across the globe.
Never able to turn down a reason to party, Alligator celebrated its 20th anniversary in
1991 by loading Koko Taylor, Katie Webster, Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials, Elvin Bishop
and Lonnie Brooks into a tour bus to join forces for a cross-country tour, resulting in
a Grammy-nominated two-CD set, The Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Tour. Noted
filmmaker Robert Mugge documented the proceedings in his film, Pride & Joy: The Story
of Alligator Records, including a rare behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of
Alligator Records, as well as some electrifying concert footage.
During the 1990s, Alligator helped define the future of the blues. The addition to the
roster of young singing sensation Shemekia Copeland and groundbreaking, visionary
bluesman Corey Harris carried the music to a new, younger audience. No longer a Chicago
blues label, but rather a national and international blues label based in Chicago,
Alligator expanded its roster (and its audience) with artists from Chicago (Carey Bell,
Luther Allison), Texas (Marcia Ball, C.J. Chenier, Long John Hunter), California
(William Clarke), Washington, DC (Cephas & Wiggins), New York (The Holmes Brothers) and
even Perth, Australia (Dave Hole). With these outstanding musicians came copious
amounts of radio play,as well as guest spots on national radio and television programs.
Over the years, Alligator artists have performed on Conan, The Tonight Show, The Late
Show With David Letterman, Austin City Limits, The CBS Saturday Early Show and public
radio's A Prairie Home Companion, Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Weekend Ed.,
Fresh Air, World Cafe, E-Town, Mountain Stage, Woodsongs and XM/Sirius Radio among many
others.
Even as the recording industry was contracting during the new millenium, Alligator was
(and still is) aggressively seeking out new talent, broadening its vision to include
shades of gospel, roots rock, and Americana music. Mavis Staples, Roomful Of Blues, Lee
Rocker (of the Stray Cats), Michael "Iron Man" Burks, Eric Lindell, JJ Grey & Mofro,
Janiva Magness, Anders Osborne, Guitar Shorty, Rick Estrin & The Nightcats, Tommy
Castro, Joe Louis Walker, Buckwheat Zydeco (whose Lay Your Burden Down won the label
its third Grammy Award) and Jesse Dee all came on board since 2000.
Since its inception, Alligator has always kept a close eye both on new artists and new
technologies. In the 1970s, the company produced LPs, cassettes and 8-track tapes. In
the 1980s, Alligator was the first blues company to produce CDs, and in the 1990s
Alligator was among the first labels to market its catalog over the Internet. These
days, alligator.com, the label's website, and its social media sites are instantly
updated with the latest news and tour dates. At the website, visitors can listen to
hundreds of songs on our jukebox while reading bios of every artist, get free downloads
and purchase CDs and other blues-related merchandise. Alligator is also deeply involved
in the downloading worlds, working closely with almost all of the legitimate download
services, making thousands of Alligator tracks available for instant online purchase.
Today Alligator Records is fueled by the same principles that it first established in
1971. The label continues to push forward, still bucking the odds, with everybody
working long hours on a shoestring budget. The entire staff is always looking for new
talent and listening to a wide variety of roots music. As driven and determined as
ever, Alligator is committed to the future. "I want to keep bringing blues and roots
music to new fans and getting them as excited about the music as I am," says Iglauer.
From the early days of recording only Chicago blues artists to the addition of national
and international artists to the label's commitment to younger roots acts who are
creating new blues for the new millennium, Alligator continues to forge ahead. Into the
label's fifth decade, Alligator is dedicated to discovering great new talent, proving
that the passion, soul and redemptive power of blues and roots music is alive, well and
genuine, capable of rocking the house for many more years to come.

A career-defining album produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos. Marcia is simply on
fire throughout, with an exuberant array of piano-fueled roadhouse romps seasoned by
incomparably soulful ballads. Tracks include nine new Marcia originals, plus brilliant
takes on the music of Ray Charles, Ernie K-Doe and Jesse Winchester.
Producer/saxophonist Berlin guests on five tracks. "Rollicking, playful, good-time
blues and intimate, reflective balladry...her songs ring with emotional depth"

Elvin and his Big Fun Trio-mates (Willy Jordan on cajon and vocals, Bob Welsh on
guitar and piano) serve up a fresh new helping of their good ‘n’ greasy blues and
R&B, highlighted by the title track, a comic State of the Union address as only the
blues and Southern Rock legend can deliver. Album includes four additional new
originals, Big Fun Trio takes on Elvin’s Right Now Is The Hour, Jackie Wilson’s
(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher & Higher, Ann Peebles’ I Can’t Stand The Rain
and more. "Deceptively loose but always tight...the raspy chuckle in Bishop’s singing
and the sharp sting of his guitar are forceful and fresh, enduring and fun."

start to finish. COMING IN HOT features 11 songs by writers including Montoya and
Dave Steen, Tom Hambridge and Richard Fleming, Warren Haynes, Frankie Miller, Jeff
Paris, and Albert Collins. The tracks range from blistering, hard-rocking blues to
potent shuffles to fervent, moving ballads. Montoya delivers each song with
uncompromising, dynamic energy. His unpredictable guitar playing and smoking, soulful
vocals are inspired by a backing band featuring renowned musicians including bassists
Bob Glaub (Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Jerry Lee Lewis) and Mike Mennell (Jimmy
Buffett, John Fogerty), keyboardist Mike Finnigan (Jimi Hendrix, Etta James, Taj
Mahal), rhythm guitarists Billy Watts (Eric Burdon) and Johnny Lee Schell (Bonnie
Raitt), and Tony Braunagel (who produced the album) on drums.

harp and soul-deep vocals for which he is famed. The track listing includes

timeless music.
